Mark Twain is in merry old England to see his family. Wentworth Cabot, Twain's assistant, is looking forward to seeing the sights, and hopefully finding some peace and quiet - when not helping his boss with a new lecture series. But peace is the last thing they find when they bump into Slippery Ed, a con man from New Orleans and an acquaintance of Twain's. Ed convinces Twain and his family to attend a seance. The famed author is skeptical of "spooks." But when another attendee is murdered, Twain must discover whether the killer is one of the flesh-and-blood members of the audience - or a specter from the beyond.

Another clever story and another clever reason for Twain to be involved in the mystery. Sadly certain repeat characters were just not like able enough to readmit readily even with plausible reasons. After having slogged through Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Land of Mist” which describes the late 1800s rise of Spiritualism in England, I would this story was well wrapped in that milieu.

Not as good as the first three but worth it
