Murder at an English Séance by Jessica Ellicott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I always enjoy Beryl and Edwina. These books are just the right amount of cozy to make the mystery enjoyable. What surprised me was the realization that we have come to the one year mark of when these two friends reconnected and their adventures in mystery solving began.

Barbara Rosenblat does an amazing job with the voices in these books. Teamed with Jessica Ellicott’s wonderful stories, the audio books are a pleasure to listen to.

One of the most apparent things in this book is the amount of growth all of the characters have undergone. We are also looking at a change in circumstance that, to be honest, I’m not sure will resolve itself in ways some readers (not to mention characters) think it will. We shall have to see.

A psychic medium has come to the village and the resulting uproar might be the cause of the murder or it might simply be the red herring to disguise who did it and why.

Beryl and Edwina carefully peel back the layers to find a resolution for their client (The Vicar’s Wife) while managing to work with Doris Gibbs – who ever thought we would see that?

What is next for our intrepid duo? I, for one, can’t wait to find out!
