When murder intrudes on a group of ghost seekers, Lee is asked to solve the case by a cop on the verge of retirement. At the urging of his perpetual fianceÌe Audrey, Lee enlists the help of Mr. O'Nelligan, a scholarly Irishman with a keen eye for solving mysteries. The duo is drawn into a murder investigation involving the "Spectricator," a machine designed to communicate with the dead. Soon, Plunkett and O'Nelligan are knee-deep in a suspect pool that includes a surly medium, a former speakeasy queen, a mysterious Spanish widow, and a whole slew of eccentric servants. Engaging, charming, and smart, The SeÌance Society by Michael Nethercott is a fresh take on the traditional mystery genre for readers who love original characters, witty dialogue, and a great whodunit. "Mad-cap and mid-century--what a treat! You'll love the reluctant-detective Plunkett and the endearing Mr. O'Nelligan. Clever, quirky and completely charming--this engaging and original mystery is quite a treasure." --Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony and MacavIty winning author of The Other Woman"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Private investigators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Seances $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Mystery & Detective / General. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 7 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010014647.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722040412.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720042629.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418100725.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202083810.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926024426.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20150730012615.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE5723DC202D11E3AACF62D3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
