I was intrigued by the premise here and read 10% but sadly, I'm just not feeling this one. We open with a governmental hearing on spiritualism where each representative is described by party, hair type and color, etc. So many good books out there, I can't stick around for one that's not piquing my interest fairly quickly.

Narrative nonfiction is a popular genre, and this will appeal to true crime fans, also. Houdini is known as a magician, but less people know about his crusades against fraud. This will be an easy recommendation to my readers.
