Book of Interest: Séances are for Suckers

I'm not sure what the category or genre is but I love when there is someone doing fake supernatural things but then end up encountering or having to deal with the real thing. Which is why I want to read Séances are for Suckers by Tamara Berry, it's the first book in the mystery series about Eleanor Wilde, a fake medium. It will be interesting to know if the murder mystery she's trying to solve is really supernatural or not.


Book: Séances are for Suckers (Eleanor Wilde Mystery #1) by Tamara Berry

Description:

When something goes bump in the night . . . it’s most likely a plumbing problem. But fake medium Eleanor Wilde is happy to investigate and cleanse your home of spectral presences—for a fee. Hey, it’s a living . . .

Ellie has an ailing sister to care for and working as a ghost hunter who doesn’t believe in ghosts helps cover the bills. When she’s lucky, it also pays for the occasional tropical vacation. On her latest job, though, she may be in for some genuine scares.

The skeptical, reserved, and very rich Nicholas Hartford III has flown her all the way to his family’s ancestral estate in England—supposedly haunted by a phantom named Xavier. Nicholas thinks it’s all just as much a crock as Ellie’s business is, but his mother is sure that Xavier is real, and he’s willing to employ Ellie if she can put a stop to the nonsense. But when an actual dead body appears—and subsequently disappears—at Castle Hartford, she’ll have to apply her talent for trickery and psychological insight to solve a flesh-and-blood murder.
