( ) Lee's father left him a private detective agency. When Lee's eternal fiancée, Audrey, takes him to the Otherworld's Fair along with her quirky neighbor, Mr. O'Nelligan. When one of the main speakers subsequently dies, the 2 men finds themselves investigating multiple plots of faked deaths, murder, ghosts, and con artists. The mystery definitely takes back seat to the interactions between the unlikely partners, including their verbal sparring, as well as the larger cast of flamboyant and interesting characters.

"It's 1956, and Lee Plunkett has taken over the family business as a private investigator despite his reluctance to follow in his father's footsteps. When murder intrudes on a group of ghost seekers, Lee is asked to solve the case by a cop on the verge of retirement. At the urging of his perpetual fiancée Audrey, Lee enlists the help of Mr. O'Nelligan, a scholarly Irishman with a keen eye for solving mysteries. The duo is drawn into a murder investigation involving the "Spectricator," a machine designed to communicate with the dead. Soon, Plunkett and O'Nelligan are knee-deep in a suspect pool that includes a surly medium, a former speakeasy queen, a mysterious Spanish widow, and a whole slew of eccentric servants. Engaging, charming, and smart, The Séance Society by Michael Nethercott is a fresh take on the traditional mystery genre for readers who love original characters, witty dialogue, and a great whodunit. "Mad-cap and mid-century--what a treat! You'll love the reluctant-detective Plunkett and the endearing Mr. O'Nelligan. Clever, quirky and completely charming--this engaging and original mystery is quite a treasure." --Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony and MacavIty winning author of The Other Woman"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
