Inhaltsangabe
From the author of the sensational bestseller The Lost Apothecary comes a spellbinding gothic whodunit introducing two enigmatic women who set out to solve a most unusual mystery.
May mercy be upon the man who finds himself the enemy of a vengeful medium...
1873. At an abandoned château on the outskirts of Paris, a dark séance is about to take place, led by acclaimed spiritualist Vaudeline D'Allaire. Known worldwide for her talent in conjuring the spirits of murder victims to ascertain the identity of the people who killed them, her skills are highly sought after by widows and investigators alike.
Lenna Wickes has come to Paris to find answers about her sister's death, but to do so, she must embrace the unknown and overcome her own logic-driven bias against the occult. When Vaudeline is beckoned to England to solve a high-profile murder, Lenna accompanies her as an understudy. But as the women team up with the powerful men of London's exclusive Séance Society to solve the mystery, they begin to suspect that they are not merely out to solve a crime, but perhaps entangled in one themselves...
Written with alluring suspense and sultry prose, The London Séance Society is an entrancing tale that explores the blurred lines between truth and illusion and reveals the grave risks women will take to avenge the ones they love.

It was just ok.
First of all, the performance deserves 4 stars because one of the performers had a great voice and the acting of both performers was good. However, one of them was supposed to mimic a French accent, at which they failed miserably, and produced some inconsistent accent between French and Indian English. Very odd.
Otherwise, I could've done without knowing about this book - it wasn't particularly good or bad. The story was interesting, but I was left wishing for more historical/period-specific details, and some of it seemed unrealistic or not well-enough explained. I am no expert in the daily life of the Victorian era, but some of the characters' behavior seemed odd or at least not well explained. Had the characters been more complex, I could've looked past the predictable plot twists. Some elements in solving the mystery were far too quickly and conveniently revealed. Overall, I was left wanting more - more characterization, more shock and mystery, more historical explanations - but I cannot say the book was bad. It is suitable for young adults or maybe someone who has not read many murder mysteries before.

did not meet my expectations after the author's previous book
the story about murder and magic in Victorian times has some interesting twists in it; however, I found the dialogues and thoughts expressed by the main characters illogical and shallow at times. the reader sadly used
inconsistent and incorrect pronunciation for some words like chemise, psyche et cetera.
