Why read it?

1 author picked A Dreadful Splendor as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Again, something a little different in the historical mystery genre. Set in Victorian London and following Genevieve Timmons—a “spiritualist” out to con the rich and famous by claiming she can speak to their dead. I loved this twisty,  gothic mystery, filled with magic (real and imagined) and even a sprinkling of romance.
