Hoooray! A good teen book that's not part of a series! I don't know if the lack of what I deem a "perfect book" has influenced this review, but man this book came at the right time for me. As I mentioned, it's a standalone and not part of a series, it has great characters, there are no love triangles, there is romance but it's cute, it's tamed, and it's not stupid. The setting is 1850s London and Violet is forced to help her mother, a fake Medium, fake elaborate seances. Her mother's fame attracts the attention of a wealthy Lord who invites them all to a big gala at his mansion. Thus begins the murder mystery of this book! Double hooray! Violet is pestered and frightened into solving this mystery by her new found talent: unlike her mother, she can ACTUALLY see ghosts, and they make sure she solves this crime so they can finally rest.

Again, this book was wonderful. I loved Violet and Colin and Elizabeth! The writing was wonderful and I honestly didn't know who the killer was. I will definitely have to read more of Harvey's books!
