Book Review:

The London Séance Society, written by Sarah Penner, follows the story of Lenna Wickes, who travels to Paris to investigate her sister’s death. She meets Vaudeline D’Allaire, a spiritualist known for her talent in conjuring the spirits of murder victims to identify their killers. Vaudeline is later invited to England to solve a high-profile murder, and Lenna accompanies her as an understudy.

As they team up with the powerful men of London’s exclusive Séance Society to solve the mystery, they begin to suspect they are entangled in a dangerous game themselves. The novel is a thrilling and atmospheric tale that explores the risks women will take to avenge their loved ones and blurs the line between truth and illusion in the perilous art of conjuring the dead.
