Rituals: A Faye Longchamp Mystery
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Faye Longchamp doesn't believe in ghosts. But she's an
archaeologist—dead people are her life.
While working in Rosebower, a rural New York town founded by
spiritualists, Faye is surrounded by people who talk to the dead on a regular
basis. When the most influential spiritualist in town, Tilda Armistead, invites
Faye and her project assistant to commune with the dead, she can't say no.
An hour later, her crystal ball shows Faye things no
rational mind can explain. Tilda is dead. The evidence says that someone
trapped Tilda in a small room, nailing its one door shut before setting her
Victorian home on fire. There is no possible way for Tilda to have escaped the
blaze, let alone drive for miles before finding Faye and dying in her arms. Yet
Tilda did. How? And why?
In this bizarre community, Faye finds herself surrounded by
people who had reason to kill Tilda—her estranged daughter who may be the heir
to the Armistead fortune; the daughter's husband, a stage magician with a long history
of making things vanish; a rich developer with dreams of a ghostly Disneyland
project in Rosebower, a project which Tilda fought with her considerable
political clout; and the town's holistic doctor whose mysterious herbal potions
are consumed by customers far and wide.
As Faye watches the psychics and charlatans jockey for
power, and sends a cry for help to her shrewd husband Joe, Tilda's sister,
Myrna, is slowly dying. Will Rosebower reveal its secrets to Faye before more
goes up in flames?

September 2, 2013
A superior puzzle plot lifts Evans’s eighth Faye Longchamp mystery (after 2012’s Plunder). Archeologist Faye and her 17-year-old adopted daughter, Amande, have a job to do in Rosebower, N.Y., a town “with a history full of Spiritualists, religious reformers, and radical feminists.” Not long after they’ve begun their work separating decades of donated junk at the local museum, Faye and Amande have a murder mystery on their hands. Medium Tilda Armistead is the victim of arson, dying of smoke inhalation after escaping a fire set at her home, but in addition to the obvious question of whodunit, Faye must resolve the related one of “why a dying agoraphobic who had traveled only a couple thousand miles since 1972 had driven thirty miles to ask a relative stranger for help.” And what’s a retired magician, known for debunking others’ tricks, doing in town? Evans pulls all the pieces nicely together in the end. Agent: Anne Hawkins, John Hawkins & Associates.
