The Séance (Victorian Mystery) John Harwood Unabridged edition

[Read by Fiona Hardingham, Simon Vance, Katherine Kellgren]

Constance Langton grows up in a household marked by death. When she takes her mother to a séance to find comfort, the meeting has tragic consequences. Constance is left alone, her only legacy a mysterious bequest that will blight her life. So begins this mystery set in late-Victorian England. It is a world of apparitions, of disappearances and unnatural phenomena, of betrayal and black-hearted villains--and of murder. Constance's bequest comes in two parts: a house and a mystery. Years before, a family disappeared at Wraxford Hall, a decaying mansion with a sinister reputation. Now the Hall belongs to Constance, and she must descend into the darkness at the heart of the Wraxford mystery to find the truth.
