She can see ghosts, but can she catch a killer?
Stornshire, England - 1890
Leighanna Pauley barely escaped consumption. Now, she's claimed by both Life and Death. Fascinated by justice and why she survived when so many others haven't, she has a new obsession: the murder of a fellow socialite. But the police have no leads.
The investigation emboldens Leighanna to attend the first ball held at the Carmine Estate. When midnight strikes, the unimaginable takes place. Time stops for everyone but Leighanna. Before her stands the ghost of the dead girl, pleading with Leighanna to catch her killer before someone else is murdered.
In a race against time, Leighanna hunts for clues across Stornshire. Will she be able to solve the case before the murderer strikes again, or will she become just another forgotten victim?
MY THOUGHTS
Leighanna was a great character. She made impulsive decisions sometimes, but it was usually for a good cause. I loved her determination, though, and her resolve in finding the murderer.
I loved seeing the personification of Life and Death. I thought that was really interesting.
I thought the mystery was really good. And while I did eventually figure it out, that didn't hamper my enjoyment one bit.
I really hope this is the start of a new series. While this mystery is wrapped up, I'd love to spend more time with these characters. If you're a fan of historical mysteries with a light touch of fantasy, you'll love this book. I highly, highly recommend it!
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts are my honest opinion.
FIVE STARS
