The Sign of Four Spirits by Vicki Delany - 3 Stars!


When Gemma Doyle, owner of the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium, attends a séance, she finds herself banned and shown the door. Curious, she listens in from outside the room. Gemma hears a voice cut off, a cry for help, and a scream. Gemma bursts into the library to see that someone has collapsed on the table and was murdered. The windows are all locked, and Gemma was guarding the only door. Someone in this room is a killer. But who?
This cozy mystery was very entertaining and had some twists and turns that kept me turning the pages until the culprit was revealed in the end. Gemma Doyle is a great sleuth who's intelligent and observant and when asked to help in this investigation, shows the police that she's up for the challenge. The side characters are fun to read about, and I loved the romantic subplot. Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
