The Conductors is the story of Hetty and Benjy, both former Conductors on the Underground Railroad. When Hetty and Benjy find a dead man with a cursed symbol on his chest, they decide to use their magic to investigate. Switching between flashbacks from their past as Conductors to present day, Hetty also searches for her sister Esther as they attempt to unravel the murder. As clues and questions surface, both start to wonder...could the murderer be someone they know?

I absolutely loved The Conductors!! Hetty is one of my favorite characters: witty, powerful, and so much fun to read as she races to solve the murder. The magic system was well-designed and complex. With solid pacing and excellent supporting characters, I couldn’t put this book down! Anyone looking for historical fiction, murder mysteries involving magic, and fantastic characters will enjoy The Conductors. Spending time with Hetty and Benjy was a joy, hopefully they’ll return to solve another mystery. I highly recommend The Conductors, releasing March 2, 2021. Thank you to Nicole Glover, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Netgalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
