It's giving Bridgerton, with way less spice and way more ghosts.
"I absolutely adore the concept of this series. Drawing on Victorian England's fascination for Spirits, Seances and Mediums, it has the feels of something worthy of Charles Dickens (or at least an episode of Doctor Who minus the time traveling alien)."
💛💛💛💛💛
"These charmingly well written stories remind me of a humorous classic Cary Grant movie."
💛💛💛💛💛
"Ms. Kroll writes excellent dialogue. I was frequently laughing out loud during Mary’s conversations with her father’s ghost."
