In this "clever and scary" young adult mystery set in Victorian England, a charlatan's daughter discovers a very real ability to communicate with ghosts (Kirkus Reviews).

Having been raised by a fraudulent medium, Violet Willoughby doesn't believe in ghosts. But they believe in her. Visited by a persistent spirit, one who suffered a gruesome death, Violet can no longer ignore her unique ability. She must figure out what this ghost is trying to communicate, and quickly, because the killer is still on the loose.

The only person who can help her is Colin, her best friend since childhood. He understands the true Violet, and perhaps their friendship is growing into something more.
