The Seance is an absolutely delicious read! A novel set in the Victorian era of the late 1800's, it is the story of a girl whose mother never recovers from the death of her beloved second daughter. The plot is complicated, yet readable, one of those "keep you up all night" page turners. Many delicious plot turns and twists and the inevitable surprise ending will keep you reading until the wee hours.
The character development in the The Seance is excellent and I enjoyed the format. The story is told by several different characters and their individual points of view. The only negative to the story is that if you don't pay attention, you can quickly lose the threads of the various plots.
This is a simply scrumption gothic horror story complete with a haunted suit of armor, a creepy castle-like mansion and many intriguing characters.
I give it 4 stars, only because I thin the complexity of the story may be difficult to follow for some readers.
