"The colorful cast of characters, including several carry-overs from the series debut, is complemented by polished, measured prose and rich, affectionate descriptions of the seaside setting and village milieu...A stylish cozy mystery that both comforts and delights."

Description
In the second installment of the Nora Breen Investigates series—“perfect for cozy mystery lovers” (Book Riot)—beloved former nun Nora Breen returns, this time to track down a ghostly killer before it’s too late.
When Dolores Chimes, a famous medium, arrives in Gore-on-Sea, even surly Detective Inspector Rideout is lured in by her promises of messages for the afterlife.
But after a reading goes disastrously wrong, Dolores loses her life—and the six sitters at the séance with her fall victim to supernatural deaths themselves in the days following the nightmare of a reading.
Determined to unveil the truth, Nora finds herself chasing a ghostly serial killer she believes to be responsible, before the sixth victim—Detective Rideout himself—perishes along with the others.
Reviews
“Kidd’s narrative is absorbing and the overall tone is a blend of bright dialogue and the dark shadows of the many lost and lonely souls in an England still recovering from the traumas of WWII.”
—Booklist
“Kidd has fun dreaming up apparently impossible deaths for her victims, and the resolution satisfies. For cozy fans, this is a treat.”
—Publishers Weekly
