The woman who spoke to spirits

Alys Clare

World's End Bureau Victorian mystery;, bk. 1

London, 1880: When accounts clerk Ernest Stibbins approaches the World's End investigation bureau with wild claims that his wife Albertina has been warned by her spirit guides that someone is out to harm her, the Bureau's owner Lily Raynor and her new employee Felix Wilbraham are initially sceptical. How are the two private enquiry agents supposed to investigate threats from beyond the grave? But after she attends a seance at the Stibbins family home, Lily comes to realize that Albertina is in terrible danger - and very soon, so is Lily herself. Meanwhile, a nobleman hires the Bureau to dig up enough dirt to discredit the actress engaged to his son - but there's more to the woman than meets the eye..
