I loved this book! Victorian murder mystery meets “ghost” story, with delicious sprinklings of compassion and mischief…
Caroline Day, author of Sunday Times Bestseller Hope Nicely’s Lessons for Life
…a high-spirited and thoroughly enjoyable novel that effortlessly draws one into its charmingly crooked world. …This novel is a magnificent blend of historical mystery, thrilling adventure, captivating fantasy, and heartwarming romance all rolled into one. Regardless of your usual literary preferences, I thoroughly recommend ‘The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder.’ It’s a truly engaging read that promises to charm and excite.
Oliver Dowson (Author, the Repurposed Spy series)
Seances! Murders! Fraud!
The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder has it all. This is true historical fiction, where the Victorian setting is more than just set-dressing; it permeates the very fabric of the story and the wry, understated character voice. With the perfect mix of meticulous research, emotional depth and a rollicking good story besides, Stephen Cox delivers surprises to the very end. If you, like me, love a crook with a heart of gold, then these queer old birds are sure to capture your heart.
A genuine pleasure from start to finish
Eris Young (fiction editor, Shoreline of Infinity)
The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder is a great ghost story with multiple twists and turns along the way, [and] the investigation of multiple murders old and new. The setting and time are well-researched, and the voice is wholly Victorian and delightfully understated and wry. A fun read.
Suanne Schafer, Midwest Book Review
“Cox has masterfully blended fantasy, mystery, and romance into one fascinating tale that will keep readers turning pages long into the night. Looking forward to his next book.”
