A locket with a strand of hair! What is this?

A Grave Gift (Electra Poole Mysteries #1) by Christy Carlyle  

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting beginnings to a series about a woman in the late 1870’s who sees visions by touching objects or people; flashes of what might be or been.

It’s a troubling ability, one that Electra Poole is slowly coming to terms with.

Electra finds herself acquiescing to holding a private séance in Mayfair at then home of Lady Becknell when begged to by the lady.

When Lady Becknell is found dead at the bottom of the stairs in her own home, Detective Inspector Gideon Pierce is called in. It’s determined that Lady Becknell has been murdered. Her recent acquaintances are questioned, including Electra.

Gideon and Electra have history. She’s always found it hard to talk to him about her gift—or curse.

What Electra doesn’t tell Gideon is Lady Becknell gave to her a locket. An object that might have bearing on the case.

Thrown together during the investigation Gideon and Electra form a rather formidable team.

Where the future takes them will be fascinating I’m sure.
