Fiona's Reviews > Spitting Gold

An entertaining tale of two sisters who work together as spiritists in Paris, ‘helping’ families who believe themselves to be haunted or have a possessed family member. Part 1 is very good, narrated by Sylvie, the older sister. She has married a Baron and had stopped this work at his insistence but her sister pleads with her to help her one more time. I enjoyed the descriptions of the ‘show’ the sisters put on for their employers and the sinister turn it took. Part 2 changes the narrator to the other sister, Charlotte. I enjoyed it less. I skim read much of it because although there were moments of suspense and high drama, they were too drawn out and it was easy to skip to the outcome without losing the storyline. There are a few unexpected twists and turns throughout and, although it’s a bit silly really, I enjoyed it.
