Maids of Misfortune: A Victorian San Francisco Mystery
by M. Louisa Locke
In this light-hearted historical mystery, Annie Fuller is a San Francisco widow who works as Madam Sibyl, a clairvoyant. In 1879, a creditor threatens to take away her home, and one of Madam Sibyl's clients, Mr. Voss, dies suddenly. Annie Fuller and Nate Dawson, the Voss family lawyer, try to find out the truth about Voss's death in order to save his family and Annie from financial ruin.
