Download Seance in Sepia AudioBook Free
When the price tag on a unique picture called a nature picture, which some Victorian spiritualists stated was an image of the departed considered throughout a seance, sells at auction for over a thousand us dollars, Flynn Keirnan is set to discover the story behind it. She soon learns the ghostly images of the girl and two men in the picture were the content of a sensational murder trial in 1875 Chicago. A architect was accused of eradicating his wife and closest friend in what the neighborhood press dubbed The Free Love Murders. Flynn tracks the story through many sources, like the trial transcript, a journal held by one of the subjects, and notes from a jailhouse interview with the man conducted by feminist firebrand Victoria Woodhull for her radical papers. Woodhull, also known as a spiritualist, was asked by the accused to contact the spirits of his wife and friend to acquire information regarding the deaths. Was it a double homicide, a double suicide, or a murder-suicide and, if so, who wiped out whom? Flynn Keirnan discovers the main element to dealing with the Free Love murders lies in learning the provenance of the picture itself. When she does she discovers that, like Victoria, her own view on love has modified.
