This was ... nice? I liked the setting of 'Victorian whodunnit ghost mystery'. The two main ladies were likeable and their chapters were mostly interesting. The London Séance Society as an organisation was a good idea.
It took 2 hours for the story to really get going for me.
I didn't like that the man's POV chapters were mostly there to tell the backstory.
I definitely didn't like how we spent so much time in his head and he never oncethought about how he was present at Evie's death or all the things that happened around that time or even all the things he lied about. This made his chapters even more of a plot device to tell the story in a linear way and even less like the POV of a real person.
