Sometimes truth is the greatest illusion of all. In a cold January morning in 1856, Evelyn Atherton's husband is found murdered after attending an exclusive s�ance. Having "married up" into New York society, Evie herself is the immediate suspect. Ostracized and vulnerable, she knows that to clear her name she must retrace her husband's last steps. And so, joining forces with her husband's best friend-and the only Manhattan lawyer who will accept her case-Evie dives into the mysterious underworld of the occult. Before long, the trail brings them to a charismatic medium, Michel Jourdain. Evie's instincts tell her the smooth-talking Jourdain is a charlatan-and her only hope for exoneration. But getting close to Jourdain means embracing a seductive and hypnotic world where clues to murder come through the voices of the dead. Caught in a perilous game in which she is equal player and pawn, predator and victim, Evie finds there is no one to trust, perhaps not even herself. As her powerful in-laws build a case against her, and with time running out, Evie must face the real ghosts of her past if she is to have any hope of avoiding the hangman.

Although well written, this book was a bit of a disappointment to me especially after reading the wonderful "An Inconveniet Wife" by the same author. The story line was intriguing enough - mediums, the spirit world and murder,but I have to say that I figured out who did it early on and also the victim's "big secret" . Still, it was entertaining enough to recommend.

gripping to the end
set in the early 20th century, this book revolves around that periods interest in mesmerism and magic. The main character tries to find the murderer of her wealthy husband who has been frequenting seances. All is not as it seems and the characters who have known each other for years really know nothing about each other...and as is the best kind of who-dun-it....we don't know until the end. I would highly recommend this as a mystery/romance/magical read.
