A Case of Spirits cover

The beloved Sergeant Cribb series by Peter Lovesey

The spiritualist movement has captivated a segment of Victorian London: manifestations, the occult, and 'sensitives' are in vogue. Unfortunately, those ready to believe are vunerable to fraud.

When séance sites become targets for theft, Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray are on the case. But then someone murders the medium, and the two find themselves rubbing shoulders with some rather eccentric suspects.

Splendid plot, prepossessing good humour, unassertively satisfying prose. Warmly recommended - Edmund Crispin, Sunday Times

Peter Lovesey is undeniably one of the best practitioners of the genre . . . An elegantly written book - Financial Times

One of the best of this series, A Case of Spirits is lively and well-plotted - New York Times

The writing is strikingly evocative of the period, and the plot is riveting - The Times Saturday Review
