Publisher's summary

“No one mixes romance, mystery, and that faint, spine-tingling sense of the supernatural, that curtain lifting in a breeze that isn't there, the hair prickling on the back of your neck, like Simone St. James. Her novels are the perfect combination of classic ghost story, historical fiction, and romantic suspense.”—Lauren Willig

London, 1925. Glamorous medium Gloria Sutter made her fortune helping the bereaved contact loved ones killed during the Great War. Now she's been murdered at one of her own séances, after leaving a message requesting the help of her former friend and sole rival, Ellie Winter.

Ellie doesn't contact the dead—at least, not anymore. She specializes in miraculously finding lost items. Still, she can't refuse the final request of the only other true psychic she has known. Now Ellie must delve into Gloria's secrets and plunge back into the world of hucksters, lowlifes, and fakes. Worse, she cannot shake the attentions of handsome James Hawley, a damaged war veteran who has dedicated himself to debunking psychics.

As Ellie and James uncover the sinister mysteries of Gloria's life and death, Ellie is tormented by nightmarish visions that herald the grisly murders of those in Gloria's circle. And as Ellie’s uneasy partnership with James turns dangerously intimate, an insidious evil force begins to undermine their quest for clues, a force determined to bury the truth, and whoever seeks to expose it...

A true literary marvel.

After reading The Broken Girls, Simone St James has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I absolutely loved everything about this audiobook. The narrator gave such a great performance of truly lovable characters and an engaging ploy full of twists and turns. I wish I could read it for the first time again.

It was an incredible book

I’ve listened to several audiobooks by Simone St. James and read hard copies as well and I’ve never once been disappointed. I’ve loved every single book

A murder mystery like no other!

Whether there are ghosts/spirits, is not the issue.
A complex mystery with many characters that support this unique story. I love getting the full story, terrific characters, situations and a tidy bit of romance too!

I just could not find a reason to care

I generally love Simone St James- I am not certain if it was the actual book (because despite the premise I could not find any reason to care about the mystery) or the narrator (very soft and beautiful, but not exactly compelling). I am still 3 ish hours from finishing and just want it to end.

Horrible

I only bought this book because the author wrote two books that I like. This was absolutely terrible it’s slow and never picks up. It’s silly and I hate I wasted a credit on this. The relationship between the man and woman was cringe and this book was not good at all not even a little.
