Reviews
A unique 'Watson' and a nicely captured 1950s atmosphere. It will be enjoyed by lovers of the well-plotted and well-written mystery., "Michael Nethercott's nicely put together whodunit, The Séance Society, plunges us head first into that warm bath of nostalgia with its setting -- a small town in Connecticut in 1956. The methodically constructed narrative is as neat as its locale, a classic puzzle pegged to the murder of a flamboyant entrepreneur who sponsors séances in what everyone knows to be a haunted house." -- Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times "Intriguing and suspenseful...The first sentence sets the tone for the book: Heed well the dead, for they hover at our ears." -- Irish American News "A pleasantly retro whodunit in which otherworldly spirits compete for attention with flesh-and-blood types." -- Kirkus Reviews "Mad-cap and mid-century--what a treat!

Synopsis
It's 1956, and Lee Plunkett has taken over the family business as a private investigator despite his reluctance to follow in his father's footsteps. When murder intrudes on a group of ghost seekers, Lee is asked to solve the case by a cop on the verge of retirement. At the urging of his perpetual fiance Audrey, Lee enlists the help of Mr. O'Nelligan, a scholarly Irishman with a keen eye for solving mysteries. The duo is drawn into a murder investigation involving the "Spectricator," a machine designed to communicate with the dead. Soon, Plunkett and O'Nelligan are knee-deep in a suspect pool that includes a surly medium, a former speakeasy queen, a mysterious Spanish widow, and a whole slew of eccentric servants. Engaging, charming, and smart, The Sance Society by Michael Nethercott is a fresh take on the traditional mystery genre for readers who love original characters, witty dialogue, and a great whodunit. "Nethercott's debut sparkles with a mix of W.B. Yeats and Elvis quotations, well-placed red herrings, and an endearing trio of protagonists."-- Library Journal "This clever series opener offers a mid-century take on the traditional drawing-room mystery...There is a sweet charm to this mystery, ensuring that readers will want to see more from O'Nelligan and Plunkett."-- Booklist "A classically styled Holmesian whodunit." -- Publishers Weekly, It's 1956, and Lee Plunkett has taken over the family business as a private investigator despite his reluctance to follow in his father's footsteps.
