This book is set in San Francisco
in 1916 time frame, shortly before the US entered WW1. A evangelical peace protestor is involved in
occult occurrences and possibly serial murders.
Super natural aspects impact the police investigation which is impacted
by ghosts.
Isadora Bobet and Delia Martin return as the resident ghost
busters while Captain Gabe and Lt. Jack are the law enforcement personnel of
choice. The plot includes Chinese
Tongs, sorcery, demons, spies, espionage, treason, treachery and murder. If that isn't enough there is also a feisty
kitten.
The setting is post San
Francisco earthquake and that somber experience
carries through the book. The
exuberance of the time period is also featured. The author does a superb job in painting the
time period.
This mystery like Delia's
Shadow was well crafted with plenty of twists and turns. I enjoyed it as much as the first book.
I highly recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
