A Case of Spirits (Penguin Crime Fiction)

Rating:
Summary: Another Satisfying Cribb and Thackery
Review: I am working my way through the Cribb and Thackery series, and I am really enjoying it. I love Victorian mysteries, and this series is different enough that it's quite a treat to read. The intrepid Sergeant Cribb and his sidekick Thackery are on the tail of the spirit world in this book. The occult and things ghostly was quite popular for the "quality" in the late 1800's. They held seances, and looked for manifestations just like what happens now. But Cribb is not to be taken in by spirit meddling, and he uncovers the murder and the killer in his usual understated style. This is a good book, a cracking mystery, and a good edition to this series.
