When Clive, anxious to distract a depressed Henrietta, begs Sergeant Frank Davis for a case, he is assigned to investigating a seemingly boring affair: a spiritualist woman operating in an abandoned schoolhouse on the edge of town who is suspected of robbing people of their valuables. What begins as an open and shut case becomes more complicated, however, when Henrietta—much to Clive’s dismay—begins to believe the spiritualist’s strange ramblings. Meanwhile, Elsie implores Clive and Henrietta to help her and the object of her budding love, Gunther, locate the whereabouts of one Liesel Klinkhammer, the German woman Gunther has traveled to America to find and the mother of the little girl, Anna, whom he has brought along with him. The search leads them to Dunning Asylum, where they discover some terrible truths about Liesel. When the child, Anna, is herself mistakenly admitted to the asylum after an epileptic fit, Clive and Henrietta return to Dunning to retrieve her. This time, however, Henrietta begins to suspect that something darker may be happening. When Clive doesn’t believe her, she decides to take matters into her own hands . . . with horrifying results.

REVIEW By LAWonder10:
After the tragic loss of loved ones, the unlikely small group if individuals live become intertwined. Will each find peace or will each find a chaotic lifestyle or a tragic end? It took me a short while to "get into" the book, but as I persisted, the action increased and the story became more intriguing. Although I could have done without the profanity and the sexually explicit scene, overall, the book was pretty good. The profanity wasn't frequent and the tastefully done sex scene was between a husband and wife.. It didn't add any purpose and many would read it if it didn't contain such content. The characters were realistic and believable. The scenes were portrayed well and easily visualized. The ending was complete, yet closed with a couple of phrases, peaking a reader's interest, causing him/her to anticipate further books in the series. I offer a Three and a Half Stars review *This book was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.

About Michelle CoxMichelle Cox is the author of the multiple award-winning Henrietta and Inspector Howard series as well as Novel Notes of Local Lore, a weekly blog dedicated to Chicago’s forgotten residents. She suspects she may have once lived in the 1930s and, having yet to discover a handy time machine lying around, has resorted to writing about the era as a way of getting herself back there. (Her books have been praised by Kirkus, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and many others, so she might be on to something.)
Unbeknownst to most, Cox hoards board games she doesn’t have time to play and is, not surprisingly, addicted to period dramas and big band music. Also, marmalade.
