"If one enjoys a great mystery with a touch of romance, there are few better than this! ...[H]ighly likeable characters." --InD'Tale magazine
When Sybil takes the stage again, murder plays the leading role.
In September 1873, actress and medium Sybil Ingram is looking forward to her new life as the wife of dashing violinist Roderick Brooke. But their plans for marriage are interrupted when Julia de Lioncourt, Roderick's former lover, implores him to come to Paris to rescue her from a blackmailer, Danton Fournier.
The bewitching beauty has a daring plan: while Sybil takes her place onstage in a new melodrama, Julia will recover the letters from Fournier's home. Since Roderick still feels remorse for killing Julia's husband in a duel, Sybil agrees to the plan for his sake--even though it's clear that the scheming Julia wants Roderick back in her bed. Moreover, the theater seems to harbor a ghostly presence that may spell disaster for their stratagem.
Catastrophe strikes on the night of Sybil's performance when Fournier's body is discovered stabbed through the heart. Suddenly Sybil and Roderick need alibis. Suspecting that Julia knows more about Fournier's death than she is admitting, Sybil calls upon her abilities as a spirit medium to help her discover the truth--but can she do it before the real killer stops her?
A delicious blend of traditional/cozy mystery, supernatural suspense, and romantic comedy, The Last Serenade is perfect for readers who love Victorian women sleuths like Anna Lee Huber's Lady Darby, Penny Richards's Lilly Long, Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia Grey, and Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody. And be sure not to miss Sybil's previous adventures in Nocturne for a Widow, book one in the Sybil Ingram Victorian Mysteries!
