Séances are for Suckers

Ellie is a fake medium to help pay for her sister's care. She is enlisted by Nicholas to uncover who is pretending to be Xavier a ghost that is talking to his mother and plaguing his home in England.
There are plenty of wacky characters in this story but I especially enjoyed Vivian, the mother, and her non-hospitality manners.

I enjoyed this start of a new series and will look forward to reading more. Although where can it go now that Ellie's reason for doing all of the medium stuff is gone

Eleanor Wilde is a medium, but really she doesn't even believe in ghosts. She is a good fake, however, and feels she is helping families to move on, for a price.

She is looking after her sister, who is in a coma and medical care isn't cheap. Her brother, however, doesn't approve of her methods and when Nicholas Hartford III comes to hire her, he isn't happy about it.

Nicholas knows she's a fake, but he doesn't care. His mother believes there is a ghost in their family home and he is hiring her to get to the bottom of it.

It turns out there is a lot more going on at Castle Hartford than she realizes though and she may be in for more than a fake medium can handle.

This was a fun read with some well thought out characters and lots of spooky twists and turns.
