Another good one by L.M. Jackson

I have read all of L.M. (Lee) Jackson's books, fiction as well as nonfiction. His mysteries never fail to cast an authentic spell, reproducing Victorian London in all its grandeur and ugliness. The Mesmerist's Apprentice is the second in Jackson's newest series. Sarah Tanner, the central character, is a most attractive heroine. Clever and independent, she has little in the way of resources other than her wits, but she is a survivor and her wits prove to be enough. In this book, her inquisitive nature and loyalty to friends in need take her into the shadowy world of 19th century spiritualism and the occult. For those who enjoy a lively read, I highly recommend!
