The London Séance Society: A Dark Mystery of Murder, Magic and the Secrets of the Supernatural in Victorian London from the Author of The Lost Apothecary

The London Séance Society by Sarah Penner, an instant New York Times bestseller, is a gripping historical mystery filled with suspense, witchcraft, and the supernatural.

Set in 1873 Paris and London, the story follows Lenna Wickes, a skeptical young woman seeking answers about her sister’s death, and Vaudeline D’Allaire, a world-renowned spiritualist who can summon the spirits of murder victims. When the two travel to London to investigate a high-profile case, they uncover a dark conspiracy within the exclusive Séance Society—and realize they may be caught in a crime themselves.

Blending atmosphere, intrigue, and forbidden connection, Penner’s novel explores the fine line between truth and illusion, and the lengths women will go to for justice and love.
