Members Reviews: Great Victorian Period Read What made the experience of listening to The Séance the most enjoyable? I think that the multiple narration, broken into sections worked well and added to the books overall appeal. Now the Hall belongs to Constance, and she must descend into the darkness at the heart of the Wraxford mystery to find the truth - even at the cost of her life. Years before, a family disappeared at Wraxford Hall, a decaying mansion in the English countryside with a sinister reputation. Constance's bequest comes in two parts: a house and a mystery. It is a world of apparitions, of disappearances and unnatural phenomena, of betrayal and blackmail and black-hearted villains - and of murder. So begins this brilliant and gripping novel, a dark mystery set in late-Victorian England. Constance is left alone, her only legacy a mysterious bequest that will blight her life.

Desperate to coax her mother back to health, Constance takes her to a séance perhaps she will find comfort from beyond the grave. Sell the Hall unseen burn it to the ground and plow the earth with salt, if you will but never live there Constance Langton grows up in a household marked by death, her father distant, her mother in perpetual mourning for Constance's sister, the child she lost.
