Reading While Black

If you’ve never gotten around to reading An Inconvenient Wife you are missing an excellent read. I just so happened to mosy on over to Megan Chance’s website and freaked out at the news of her upcoming release, The Spiritualist. It’s set in 19th century New York (always a favorite) and deals with spiritualist (well, duh). Here’s the blurb on her website:

On a cold January morning in 1856, Evelyn Atherton’s Knickerbocker husband is found murdered. As an outsider to New York society, Evelyn is an immediate suspect. Ostracized and vulnerable, desperate to save herself, Evelyn embarks on a daring investigation into the secrets surrounding her husband’s death. Her search leads her to a mysterious spirit circle presided over by a charismatic medium—Michel Jourdain. As Jourdain pulls Evelyn into a hypnotic and seductive world where nothing is as it seems, she discovers extraordinary talents of her own. Soon, Evelyn realizes her abilities have embroiled her in a perilous game—one where she is as much a player as a pawn, where the truth is the biggest illusion of all, and where the answers to her husband’s death—and her own future—lie within herself.
