      In 1926, paranormal investigator Sarah Jewell and her travelling companion, Marie-Th�r�se LaFleur, are summoned to the home of Sarah's childhood friend Lilian Makepeace Whelstone as she is about to auction off her late husband's occult collection. When they arrive, Sarah and Marie-Th�r�se learn that Lilian's lawyer, Mr. Severin, has been murdered in a locked room. A storm has knocked out any possibility of communicating with the authorities, and the buyers are some of those on a long list of suspects. This story evokes feelings of Agatha Christie with plucky and likeable heroines, and although there is a paranormal bent, fans looking for mysteries based in realism will not be disappointed. The illustrations are atmospheric, with the style reflecting the time period, but the most extraordinary art is a double-page spread depicting the interior of the house. While this story stands alone, readers may recognize Sarah and Marie-Th�r�se from previous Mike Mignola-created series, including Hellboy. Sarah Jewell and Marie-Th�r�se LaFleur's characters will appeal to teens as well as adults; this may be the rare title that appeals to both cozy mystery and horror readers.
