Dr. Watson is away on holiday visiting an acquaintance, James
Crain. Watson has recently lost his wife, Mary, and Crain is under the influence of a medium who claims she can channel both Crain's mother and Watson's wife. Watson is skeptical but the séance was very convincing and then a ghostly Mary appears to Watson in his room and two people are dead. Time to call Sherlock!
Sherlock Holmes makes his appearance around page 130 and takes the rest of the book to methodically de-bunk the charlatans and prove the guilt or innocence of each of the characters.
Fans of Arthur Conan Doyle will not be disappointed in this 2018 addition to the Sherlock Holmes library
