From GoodReads: In 1919 England, in the
shadow of The Great War, many look to the spirit world for answers. But
it will take an all too earthbound intrigue to draw in the discerning
heroine of Anna Lee Huber’s latest mystery . . .
It’s not that Verity Kent doesn’t sympathize with those eager to make contact with lost loved ones. After all, she once believed herself a war widow. But now that she’s discovered Sidney is very much alive, Verity is having enough trouble connecting with her estranged husband, never mind the dead. Still, at a friend’s behest, Verity attends a séance, where she encounters the man who still looms between her and Sidney—and a medium who channels a woman Verity once worked with in the Secret Service. Refusing to believe her former fellow spy is dead, Verity is determined to uncover the source of the spiritualist’s top secret revelation.
Then the medium is murdered—and Verity’s investigation is suddenly thwarted. Even Secret Service agents she once trusted turn their backs on her. Undaunted, Verity heads to war-torn Belgium, with Sidney by her side. But as they draw ever closer to the danger, Verity wonders if she’s about to learn the true meaning of till death do us part . . .

My thoughts: I recently read This Side of Murder, the first book in this historical mystery series, and I'm hooked. I'm eager to continue on with Verity Kent's latest adventures as she rebuilds her relationship with the husband she thought had perished in the Great War. You can see my review of This Side of Murder here.
This is such a cool premise! I need to go off and look into this series more!
ReplyDeleteI love that cover! Not a series I've tried as yet, but I have definitely heard good things. Again, love that cover!
ReplyDeleteI love this era of time, it sounds fascinating. And I will have to check into This Side of Murder too, because this sounds really good. Great pick.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover! I read a book in another series by Huber so I really want to try the Verity Kent series.
ReplyDeleteOoh I love this cover. This is a cover design that always gets me, the sorta retro-ish look.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of this one! I bet it will be good. I hope it is. I will have to add this one to my wish list too!
