SabethaDanes | Jan 30, 2023 |    ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 | The plot is based on the then-popular fad of spiritualism and seances. Annie tries to help a friend by debunking a husband and wife team who practice their craft on unsuspecting victims. However, Annie does make some foolish choices and the “accidents” that keep happening are obvious to everyone but her. I think the pacing and the length of this book were very good, and the author is skilled with description. What I didn’t like was the large number of characters. Were they all necessary to this plot? The mystery itself was well done and although it wasn’t a huge shock, it was a nice twist. No foul language or sex, and very little violence. (  ) mcfitz | Sep 19, 2017 | And- I like Nate and Annie for each other, but- wow. They both have Issues! especially about clear communication, and I really get bored when the plot requires that people not tell others things that are obviously relevant to them all. Unfortunately, this novel depended on that a bit much, hence the 4.5 rather than 5 stars. I love the historical context of this series! Details big and small make the era and place vivid. I am enjoying this series a lot! but it's pricey if you do not happen to catch a deal on an individual book. ( ) cissa | Jan 18, 2017 | Madam Sibyl, clairvoyant, specializing in business and domestic advice. Annie doesn’t really believe in spirits but she keeps getting involved in solving mysteries. This time she is investigating spiritualists for fraudulent practices. Kathleen, her maid, accompanies her to the Frampton séances and Nate Dawson, friend, lawyer and romantic interest helps by gathering information. An intriguing look at Victorian San Francisco, the politics, the history and the Spiritualism that ran rampant at this time. A little bit of a Sybil multi-personality disorder within a mystery with several threads, inferences that can be drawn and a nice flowing pace. An enjoyable read.

HTML: Second book in the USA Today bestselling Victorian San Francisco Mystery series. In this sequel to Maids of Misfortune, it is the fall of 1879, and when the young San Francisco widow, Annie Fuller, is asked to investigate a fraudulent trance medium, she comes to a troubling realization. Despite Annie's growing financial success as the clairvoyant Madam Sibyl, she feels increasingly guilty about the fact she doesn't believe in the astrology and palmistry her clients think are the basis for her advice. Kathleen Hennessey, Annie's young maid, has a plan. Just like the Pinkerton detectives she has read about in the dime novels, she is determined to assist her mistress in her investigations. Nate Dawson, up-and-coming San Francisco lawyer, faces a dilemma. He wants to marry the unconventional Annie Fuller, but he doesn't feel he can reveal his true feelings until he has a way to make enough money to support her.

This was a fun read. Didn't expect the outcome at all but totally made sense after the story was over. Love those kinds of mysteries. The characters were great and I was so wrapped into their story. There for a few unanswered questions with some of the minor characters but everything else was wrapped up well. (
