Synopsis

Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!
A spiritualist. An insane asylum. A lost little girl.
When a restless Clive begs Sergeant Frank Davis for a case, he and Henrietta are sent to investigate Madame Pavlovsky, a spiritualist holding séances in an abandoned schoolhouse on the edge of town and suspected of robbing her wealthy clients. What seems an open-and-shut matter becomes more complicated when Henrietta begins to believe the woman’s strange ramblings.
Meanwhile, Elsie turns to her sister and Clive for help. She and her budding love, Gunther, are desperate to find Liesel Klinkhammer, a missing German immigrant and mother of Anna, the little girl in Gunther’s care. Their search leads to the grim halls of Dunning Asylum, where they uncover the truth about Liesel.
After Anna suffers a seizure and is herself mistakenly committed to Dunning, Clive and Henrietta race to free her. But as Henrietta delves deeper into the asylum’s shadowy corridors, she begins to suspect something very sinister is at work. When Clive refuses to believe her, she decides to take matters into her own hands—with horrifying results. Can Henrietta uncover the truth before the walls of Dunning close in around her?

Entertaining is just one word I would use to describe this book. This is the fifth book in the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series. I did not read the first 4 books.
