Advance Praise

If you're in the market for a good, old-fashioned English whodunnit, look no further. Lyn Squire's The Séance of Murder has it all.

Charles Salzberg, 3-time Shamus Award nominee and author of the award-winning Second Story Man and the upcoming The Beginning of Everything.

In this third and final Dunston Burnett book, author Lyn Squire hits it out of the park. Way, way out of the park. Fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Anthony Horowitz will embrace this book like a long-lost love returning after a perilous journey. Open the book and get started, you won’t be sorry.

Matt Cost, award winning author of sixteen histories and mysteries, including the Mainely Mysteries, the Clay Wolfe Trap Mysteries, and the Brooklyn 8 Ballo Mysteries.

This is the third in the author’s Wilkie Collins-like Dunston Burnett Victorian murder mystery series. I read and enjoyed the previous two books in the series and thoroughly enjoyed this sequel. There are many entertaining twists and turns in the story and the characterization is excellent. Recommended!

Mark Ellis, author of the acclaimed Frank Merlin London wartime series, winner of the first Cobb and Pen Literary Prize for Best Crime Fiction of 2025.

Here is a locked room mystery that will have you biting your nails in worry, as Dunston [Burnett] struggles with solving a double murder, or is it triple murder? With finely drawn secondary characters and droll descriptions, this book will keep you chuckling, guessing and agonizing over the clues as I did.

Nev March, award winning author of Murder in Old Bombay, President of the NY chapter board of the Mystery Writers of America.
