I really enjoyed this. The secret society aspects were interesting, felt a little like A Marvellous Light but in a good way. The main character decides to learn how to do seances in order to track down her sister's killer. It's more focused on the mystery and characters than anything paranormal, but that isn't to say you might find yourself facing some ghosts. I really enjoyed the writing and characters, and especially the Victorian setting. I can definitely see myself reading this again some day.
