Weep for Her

Sir Nicholas' latest client is rather unusual, even for him. She's a medium--a trance medium being prosecuted under the Fraudulent Medium Act of 1951. She's accused of prompting a client to suicide when the message from her dearly departed isn't what she expected. He asks Antony to meet the woman, Mrs. Selden, and give him his opinion.Antony meets the woman and several others concerned. He wishes his uncle luck in his court case, and that's the end of it. He thinks. But the dead woman's daughter asks him to get involved. She's not convinced that her mother did commit suicide and she wants answers.Maitland is drawn back into the case, rather reluctantly, and what he finds pits him against the police one more time, and this time, it may prove to be the last.I enjoyed this book. I wish more of her books were still in print. The plots are interested and the characters are too. I like the glimpse into English court life, and even if I still find it a bit bewildering at times, it's a compelling setting.CMB
