HTML:<p><b>Bram Stoker's sister and Sherlock Holmes's niece investigate a mysterious medium, vampires, and murder in this steampunk fantasy adventure.</b><br /> <b>Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes never meant to get into the family business.</b> But when you're the sister of Bram and the niece of Sherlock, vampire hunting and mystery solving are in your blood, so to speak.<br /> After the Affair of the Clockwork Scarab, Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes are eager to help Princess Alix with a new case. Seventeen-year-old Willa Aston is obsessed with spiritual mediums, convinced she is speaking with her mother from beyond the grave. What seems like a case of spiritualist fraud quickly devolves into something far more menacing: someone is trying to make Willa appear lunatic using an innocent-looking spiritglass to control her. The list of clues piles up: an unexpected murder, a gang of pickpockets, and the return of vampires to London. But are these events connected?<br /> As Uncle Sherlock would say, there are no coincidences. It will take all of Mina's wit and Evaline's muscle to keep London's sinister underground at bay.<br /> <b>Includes a bonus sneak peek chapter from the next book in the Stoker and Holmes series, <i>The Chess Queen Enigma</i> by Colleen Gleason</b><br /> <b>Praise for <i>The Spiritglass Charade</i></b><br /> <b>"Gleason's novel is a well-oiled machine . . . the authentic historical framework, the adeptly integrated steampunk devices, the compelling personalities and backgrounds of the outwardly tough but inwardly vulnerable heroines." —<i>School Library Journal</i></b><br /> <b>"There's lots of fun to be had from this odd-couple investigative team's snarky banter, the well-imagined setting's steampunk details, and Gleason's flashes of satiric humor." —<i>The Horn Book Magazine</i></b></p>.
