About this listen
A charming debut that sparks with fun and fizz’ GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
’A must read!’ SOPHIE IRWIN
’Storytelling at its finest’ STYLIST
A DAILY MAIL ‘novel to devour in 2023
Mrs Wood is London’s most celebrated medium. She’s managed to survive decades in the competitive world of contacting the Other Side, has avoided the dreaded slips that revealed others as frauds and is still hosting packed-out séances for Victorian high society.
Yet, some of her patrons have recently cancelled their appointments. There are reports of American mediums nearly materialising full spirits and audiences are no longer satisfied with the knocking on tables and candle theatrics of years gone by. And then, at one of Mrs Wood’s routine gatherings, she hears something terrifying – faint, but unmistakable: a yawn.
Mrs Wood needs to spice up her brand. She decides to take on Emmie, a young protégé, to join her show. But is Emmie Finch the naïve ingenue she seems to be? Or does she pose more of a threat to Mrs Wood’s reign and, more horrifyingly, her reputation than Mrs Wood could ever have imagined?

Excellent
The story and pace didn't miss a beat. It grew on me steadily as I became immersed in 19th Century London and its people. The characters of the story felt familiar, and it was hard to let them go. The narration was superb, and I will look out for more titles narrated by Tracy-Ann Oberman and books by this talented author. The problem is when you have had such a rewarding reading experience it's hard to top it!
