Madame Elinor Chalamet battles a ghost in the Beyond.
Trained as a medium by the elite Morpheus Society, Elinor Chalamet uses her skills to aid the police while she hunts for her father’s killer in the coastal city of Alenbonne.
But a dead body found in the canal puts her in deep with royal matters. And she might even succeed in solving the mystery if Tristan Fontaine, duke de Archambeau, would stop getting in her way.
The first of a six part gaslamp fantasy ghost mystery series featuring a strong female character in a slow burn romance.
Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff
This is my first Byrd Nash read but it certainly will not be my last. If nothing else, I will have to continue this particular series because I have absolutely fallen in love with Elinor and Tristan ... and Anne-Marie ... and Jacques ... and Marcus ... and Dr. LaRue ... and I could probably (easily) name even more because the characters are just that compelling and delightful. Well, except for the ones that aren't meant to be, of course.
While technically a "novella," this wasn't one that I flew through. Partially because I was sick for much of the time and even reading took more energy than I had to give at times, but even so it's one to savor -- like one of the divine desserts Elinor is so dearly fond of. There's humor and mystery and a hint of romance and, of course, the ever-important presence of ghosts.
According to Amazon the next two installments will be released in December and February. I suppose I can wait that long ... or, at least, as long as it takes for them to hit NetGalley.

Tis the season for ghosts and Halloween stories. Looks good.
Sounds like a good book. The perfect mix for Halloween. I've not been well and my reading has taken a hit. I hope you are feeling better now.
Have a great weekend!
