"A Dreadful Splendor is a delightful mix of gothic, mystery, and romance. Con artist heroine Genevieve is a memorable addition to literature's gallery of charming rogues. I had such fun reading this book." -- Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Not Your Average Hot Guy "An intriguing whodunit . . . Myers nicely couples an unlikely and unethical sleuth with an atmospheric puzzle. Fans of roguish investigators will be delighted." -- Publishers Weekly "Part locked room mystery and part enemies-to-lovers romance, A Dreadful Splendor follows con artist Genevieve Thompson, who is jailed for posing as a spiritualist. When she is offered freedom in exchange for holding a séance for a grieving Lord, Mr. Pemberton, she agrees. But Mr. Pemberton is certain that his fiancée was murdered. And as unexplainable incidents begin to occur at his manor, Genevieve increasingly suspects the place to be haunted." -- Book Riot, 10 of the Best Romance Novels Coming Out in August 2022 "A page-turner . . . combining mystery, romance and spiritualism in a Victorian London setting full of secrets and seances." -- Saltwire (Halifax, Canada) "Breathtaking, puzzling and spine-chilling all at once. A spectacular, haunting mystery with a touch of romance and twists galore. Absolutely brilliant!" -- T.A. Willberg, author of the Marion Lane Mysteries "Thrilling, atmospheric and propulsive, with healthy doses of heart and humor thrown in for good measure, A Dreadful Splendor is a cleverly crafted mystery with an irrepressible heroine you won't soon forget. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun reading a book!" -- Tom Ryan, International Thriller Award-winning author of Keep This to Yourself "Delicious double crosses, a haunted estate, and a heroine who might just lose her heart -- if she can keep her neck out of the hangman's noose. A Dreadful Splendor will keep readers guessing." -- Kathleen Peacock, author of You Were Never Here "An enjoyable interpretation of an old favorite." -- Publishers Weekly on Rogue Princess "Fun and imaginative." -- School Library Journal on Rogue Princess "Delightful . . . a unique and fun retelling that I won't forget." -- The Nerd Daily on Rogue Princess "What's not to love? . . .

Synopsis
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * WINNER OF THE MARY HIGGINS CLARK AWARD "This gem of a book sparkles with wit and originality. . . . There is no shortage of tricks and feints in this excellent novel and Genevieve is a delightful character." -- The Globe and Mail "A spooky gothic romance with impeccable vibes. I loved this!" -- Erin Sterling, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse In this wickedly whimsical Gothic murder mystery brimming with romance, betrayals, and chills, a fake spiritualist is summoned to hold a séance for a bride who died on the eve before her wedding, but as nefarious secrets are revealed, the line between hoax and haunting blurs. Be careful what you conjure... In Victorian London, Genevieve Timmons poses as a spiritualist to swindle wealthy mourners--until one misstep lands her in a jail cell awaiting the noose. Then a stranger arrives to make her a peculiar offer. The lord he serves, Mr. Pemberton, has been inconsolable since the tragic death of his beautiful bride-to-be. If Genevieve can perform a séance persuasive enough to bring the young lord peace, she will win her freedom. Soothing a grieving nobleman should be easy for someone of Genevieve's skill, but when she arrives at the grand Somerset Park estate, Mr. Pemberton is not the heartbroken lover she expected. The surly--yet exceedingly handsome--gentleman is certain that his fiancée was murdered, even though there is no evidence. Only a confession can bring justice now, and Mr. Pemberton decides Genevieve will help him get it. With his knowledge of the household and her talent for illusion, they can stage a haunting so convincing it will coax the killer into the light. However, when frightful incidents befall the manor, Genevieve realizes her tricks aren't required after all. She may be a fake, but Somerset's ghost could be all too real... A Dreadful Splendor is delicious brew of mystery, spooky thrills, and intoxicating romance that makes for a ghoulishly fun and page-turning read. "A delightful mix of gothic, mystery, and romance.
