After the Affair of the Clockwork Scarab, Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes are eager to help Princess Alix with a new case. Seventeen-year-old Willa Aston is obsessed with spiritual mediums, convinced she is speaking with her mother from beyond the grave. What seems like a case of spiritualist fraud quickly devolves into something far more menacing: Someone is trying to make Willa "appear lunatic", using an innocent-looking spiritglass to control her. The list of clues piles up: an unexpected murder, a gang of pickpockets, and the return of vampires to London. But are these events connected? As Uncle Sherlock would say, "there are no coincidences." It will take all of Mina's wit and Evaline's muscle to keep London's sinister underground at bay.

When Mina Holmes and Evaline Stoker get called to the British Museum at midnight, they never could’ve imagined the mystery they would be asked to solve. With the help of Irene Adler, the ones person ever to outsmart Mina’s uncle, the two have been called to solve a case for Princess Alixandra, sister-in-law of Queen Victoria. Young girls across London are showing up dead, reportedly from suicides, but have really been murdered. All the murders can be linked to a secret society known as the Society of Sekhmet. Whoever is in charge of the society is sacrificing young women to bring back the goddess Sekhmet to life for unknown reasons. His/her only barrier is finding four objects that are supposedly linked to the legendary goddess. Things appear hopeless until Dylan Ekhart, a time traveler from 2016, arrives with answers, or at least clues, to where the objects may be hiding. Time is running out, however, and the mysterious head of the society is elusive to say the least. Can Mina, Dylan, and Evaline figure out who the murderer is before they, too, are his/her victims?This engaging historical mystery is well-written and easily draws the reader into the imaginary world of Mina an Evaline. The characters were likable and easy to relate to. Their well-rounded personalities are complemented and brought to life by the unique narrative style of Jayne Entwistle. Her fun accent is befitting of the London setting and she easily navigates the many plot twists and turns smoothly.
Great mystery!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It's the second book in the Stoker and Holmes series, and it's nicely narrated by Jayne Entwhistle, who does a good job differentiating the two main characters in subtle ways.Fun series, good narrator

Great further character development of Holmes, Stoker & the supporting cast members.
One small detail that earns 4 stars for the story. Dylan's phone was "dead" at the end of Book 1. It makes the beginning of Book 2 slightly irritating as I fixated on the mistake. 😕
Since this is a sci-fi/stream punk fantasy I am willing to forgive and "go along" with the story. (As a writer myself I'm just curious HOW that detail slipped past the editor. ???)
I LOVE this alternative world of Holmes & Stoker!!

This is a very well written book that reveals the cynicism of spiritualism and seances of Victorian England all the while it raging through the parlors of London. When you put Holmes, Watson, their niece, elementary mysteries where the game is afoot ....life is good! This book ties up most threads than reveals a new one at the end...more a good tease than a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read the next book in series (and look up this Narrator)
I highly recommend this book.
You can’t keep me from the next book!
