A ghostly killer

“Kidd has fun dreaming up apparently impossible deaths for her victims, and the resolution satisfies. For cozy fans, this is a treat.” —Publishers Weekly

When Dolores Chimes, a famous medium, arrives in Gore-on-Sea, even surly Detective Inspector Rideout is lured in by her promises of messages for the afterlife.

But after a reading goes disastrously wrong, Dolores loses her life—and the six sitters at the séance with her fall victim to supernatural deaths themselves in the days following the nightmare of a reading.

Determined to unveil the truth, Nora finds herself chasing a ghostly serial killer she believes to be responsible, before the sixth victim—Detective Rideout himself—perishes along with the others.

Review Quote

“Kidd’s narrative is absorbing and the overall tone is a blend of bright dialogue and the dark shadows of the many lost and lonely souls in an England still recovering from the traumas of WWII.”—Booklist
