Good Fun Mystery

This book is a shadowy and richly satisfying traditional mystery set in the Boston of the late 1800s. It has a cast of deeply drawn characters and is vividly set against the backdrop of the height of the spiritual movement that swept the country's wealthly set at the time, and utterly involves the reader in a series of 'seance' murders. It's the mission of investigative reporter Michael Merrick to seek the truth, which he does in the realistic manner of the era. Not once does Adamson transgress beyond us with jarring errors and respects her readers intelligence by aptly keeping us monumentally interested in Merrick's progress page by page till the final climax.
