Mina Scarletti #1
Mr Scarletti's Ghost
The first book in an exciting new Victorian murder mystery series featuring a young female detective
In 19th century Brighton, England spirit mediums are all the fashion—especially Miss Eustace, a psychic who claims to produce apparitions of the dead, and oleaginous Mr. Bradley, a self-proclaimed spirit healer. Diminutive Mina Scarletti, a writer of horror stories, is sure that her widowed mother and friends are in the hands of cheats and extortionists so she enlists the help of Daniel Hamid, an Anglo-Indian doctor, her charming but disreputable brother, Richard, and Richard’s mistress, Nellie, to expose the frauds. But the scheming criminals have spread their nets wide, and dramatic séances easily convince and captivate the vulnerable, including Daniel’s disabled sister Eliza. When Mina’s determined campaign backfires she only succeeds in adding to Miss Eustace’s fame. With chaos reigning in the Scarletti house, Mina and Richard must turn to desperate methods to outwit the illusionists and reveal the truth.

I like the gothic, Victorian era that Stratmann writes about and could vividly picture myself in the streets of Brighton! A great ghost story, the atmosphere grows tense as Mina is certain that she is in the company of fraudsters.
I’m sure many of you have seen the images of the Victorian seances that were incredibly popular. Many were denounced as fraudsters, tricking those who were vulnerable in their grief. However, there remains an element of mystery and fascination with the concept of communicating with the dead and I believe that Stratmann has really captured this intensity, particularly during the seance descriptions.
I have read the fourth book in the series last year and definitely appreciated the background story to Mina’s life that is introduced in this opening story. She is an established character and I enjoyed reading about her sleuthing ways as she grows more suspicious of the company that her mother keeps. As a particular medium becomes increasingly popular in Brighton, Mina cannot help but investigate the truth behind the ghostly visitors that the medium attracts.
Although at times I found the plot was a little stagnant, I think this is because Stratmann’s writing is heavily detailed. In some respects, it reminded me a little bit of old-fashioned fiction written one hundred years previous. However, I think this also added to the charming Victorian setting and Mina’s attention to detail when trying to denounce the seances.
This is a true ghost story with visions, creepy noises and spooky scenes. It was thrilling and I became more engrossed as the plot thickened. Despite its slow start, once I got to grips with the writing style and the plot direction became clearer, I was keen to see if Mina could get to the truth after all.

The book seemed to be very interesting and I liked the main characters, however, the story is so slow that I felt that I lost interest. I would have liked the book much better if the pacing had been faster. Towards the end, I started to skim the story just to get to the end. Sorry, this book was just not for me.

This delivered everything I wanted from a quiet Victorian mystery, set refreshingly in Brighton rather than London. Mina Scarletti is an excellent character, intelligent, logical and independent despite her scoliosis. It’s always good to see a female MC in these kinds of books whose immediate concern is not how to get married but is actually pleased by her unlikeliness of making a match. I’ll own up to a great deal of affection for books about the Spiritualist movement which I find endlessly fascinating, and this book basically gave me everything I wanted in that regard. Don’t expect twists and turns and games afoot but do expect to be entertained by a singular and unforgettable heroine. Most enjoyable

Mina Scarletti is a young Victorian woman, living with her mother in Brighton, England. She suffers from scoliosis, but maintains an active and fulfilling lifestyle. The tourist season sees an influx of mediums and healers to the town, which are all the rage in London. When Mina's mother and her friends flock to the sessions, she begins to worry about the small gifts that are being bestowed on the medium and decides to expose Miss Eustace as a cheat. However it is more difficult to divert the attention of these true believers than she anticipated.
I just loved Mina's character. She is the antithesis of the Victorian woman. Because of her physical deformity, she is not expected to marry and have children and is secretly pleased with this fact. And she writes horror stories, although she hides this fact from her family. When she sees a problem, she researches it, seeks advice, and acts. I thought she was terrific. The rest of the characters were interesting and engaging as well.
Overall, the story was quite good. I don't know that it was much of a mystery, as it seemed to me that the medium, Miss Eustace, was portrayed as a fraud from the get-go. But it was entertaining nonetheless.

I enjoyed reading about the Victorian's craze for spiritualism and all things ghostly; however, I felt the book could have been better edited to decrease the repetition.
The main character, Mina Scarletti, who has scoliosis, secretly writes horror stories. When her widowed mother becomes involved with a spiritualist, Mina sets out to prove she, and others like her, are frauds.
Though the story seemed to drag at times, there was lots of information on spiritualism and the tricks many of the spiritualists used to trick gullible people. Mina, an interesting character for the times, is well developed and doesn't let her disability keep her down.

This one has been on my To-Read list for awhile and I absolutely loved this well crafted slice of life in the Victorian times and the fashionable rise of Spiritualism. When a new phenomenon in the form of a spiritual medium named Miss Eustace takes Brighton by storm, Mina becomes worried that her mother and her financially well off friends will become the victims of fraud, Mina sets out to investigate the woman, her intentions and her mysterious past.
Afflicted with scoliosis, Mina Scarletti isn't expected to marry and have children, so she is free of many of the constraints and pressures that other Victorian women would face. She's already a successful author of horror stories, and her skepticism of the Spiritualist sensation sweeping Brighton has her free to do a little investigating without arousing displeasure from her family or the townspeople. Practical, clever, sensible and creative, she's fascinating and so gosh-darn likable. Along with her brother, Richard, friends Dr. Hamid and his family (Oh! Eliza's storyline was so sad!) it made for a warm and inviting read.
I love the level of realism in this series, it reads like non-fiction. Beautifully researched and rich in detail, from the descriptions of the Brighton seafront to Miss Eustace's demonstrations, it was brought to life handily and it was so easy to lose myself in the story. I also enjoyed that this was a clean no-murder mystery, just good old fashioned intrigue and deception. This is a a definitely a very highly recommended series for anyone who enjoys historical mysteries and a perfect pool read. Don't miss this one!

I have read all of this author's Frances Doughty series so I was keen to try this book. I found it excellent reading and absolutely fascinating with a very well researched background of the Victorian passion for ghosts, apparitions and mediums. Mina Scarletti writes horror stories and lives with her mother in Brighton in the eighteen seventies. Mina has scoliosis, and as a result attracts a lot of well meaning attempts at curing her - which she knows is impossible.
When her mother meets Mr Barclay, a faith healer, and Miss Eustace, a medium Mina is sceptical of their powers but as they seem to have given her mother a new lease of life she is content to go along with her mother's enthusiasm. However it soon becomes clear to her that these people are after money and likely to latch onto the rich. In the course of her investigations into their activities she meets a Dr Hamid and his sisters and they vow to expose these people as the charlatans they are.
This is a well constructed story with some very likeable characters and a meticulously researched background. It is something out of the ordinary in the way of historical mysteries and I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who enjoys such mysteries. I shall look forward to reading more in this series as I really like Mina as a character.

Thoroughly delightful! Great characters, well-plotted, wonderful period atmosphere. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

This was an interesting read about the interest in mediums and how they tricked people in the past. I greatly enjoyed the main character, a young woman with scoliosis, and learning about how that impacted her life in some ways I would not have expected. She was a fully developed character with many unusual traits since she was also a writer of horror stories. I did find the mission to prove the medium to be a fake to drag on a little too long. I was very engaged for 3/4 of the story but started to loose interest towards the end. Still, I would read another of the series.

The unusual protagonist made Mr. Scarletti's Ghost particularly interesting. Mina Scarletti has a severe form of scoliosis, probably an S curve, that has left her body twisted and often painful. Her tiny, twisted body evokes pity and a little revulsion in others , but Mina is quite content with her life and exhibits no self-pity; she is bright, has a lively imagination and sense of humor, and is a published author (of horror stories she doesn't want her family to know about).
Victorian Brighton was a tourist mecca for recreational bathing, for spa treatments, and for various medical problems. The Palace Pier, the West Pier, the Royal Pavilion remain as attractions today. As spiritualism began its rise, Brighton was ready for the new entertainment provided by mediums.
When Mina's mother becomes interested in spiritual healing by Mr. Bradley and the seances of medium Miss Eustace, skeptical Mina initially attempts a non-judgmental approach. As long as these performances provide entertainment, she isn't concerned. The fact that they draw her mother from her mourning, giving her an interest and encouraging her social life seems a positive thing. Although the healing and seances require no payment, it is apparent that "small gifts" are accepted--at which point, Mina becomes concerned that her mother and her friends are being exploited, and she does some research.
Convinced that Miss Eustace is a fraud, Mina attempts to discover the trickery involved and expose Miss Eustace. It turns out to be more difficult than she imagines--those who believe so want to believe, and even some respected scientists of the day have become converts.
The research is thorough and references to the real scientists who became interested in spiritualism (as converts or debunkers) and the medium D.D. Homes, give verisimilitude to the story.
Definitely not a thriller, but an intriguing protagonist and an absorbing look at the spiritualist craze that swept across America and Europe. I will be looking for the next in the series.

Set in Brighton, England, during the Victorian era, this cozy debut concerns itself with the period's rampant Spiritualist beliefs and the proliferation of mediums and faith healers who took advantage of believers desperate to make contact with their departed loved ones. Our heroine, Mina is a sensible young woman who is determined to keep her mother and friends from the clutches of a medium who is a practiced con artist. The author's research into the era and the tricks and techniques that characterized seances is obvious and fits seamlessly into the story.
Mina, a likable and not easily deterred character, enjoys relative freedom for women at the time as she is a "spinster" and not considered likely to marry because of her scoliosis. This freedom allows her to go places and form alliances that society might have forbidden for a woman who was looking to "make a good match."
Supporting characters are well drawn and, while we know how things are likely to turn out from the beginning, Mina is an agreeable and resourceful heroine, and seeing her unravel the mystery is a pleasure. I am looking forward to book two and getting to know Mina better.

Linda Stratmann's latest offering, Mr Scarletti's Ghost, attempts to capture the fad of spiritualism as it was experienced by bored upper class English women in the mid 1800s. While Stratmann's descriptions of Brighton are accurate and evocative and her research is impeccable this reviewer is not a fan of Mina Scarletti or her adventures, add to this the hoaxsters who conducted seances and other mystical evenings for the rich and gullible and this book seemed to go on for ever. Although this story tends to drag on and has a predictable climax, it may have made an exciting short story. If you are a fan of the Mina Scarletti series you may enjoy this book more than I did. If you love to read exciting British historical fiction Linda Stratmann has many other better titles to seduce you.

Having already read the fourth instalment in this series earlier this year, I was interested in seeing how Mina Scarletti's career as paranormal investigator had started. This novel did not disappoint. My favourite part was Mina's delight and amazement at how appropriate exercises increased her physical strength as well as her confidence. She has become an inspiration to me as I persist with my physiotherapy despite chronic pain. I want to thank Linda Stratmann for creating such a wonderful, relatable heroine who deals with her physical challenges in a courageous and pragmatical way.

Set in Brighton in 1871, this is the first in series centering on a young fantasy authoress who has been afflicted by scoliosis.
Living at home with her mother, Mina becomes concerned when her parent begins to embrace the skills of a local medium, Miss Eustace, who supposedly conjures her deceased husband. She sets out to unearth the truth behind the hype.
While this is very interesting in its portrayal of the psychic/medium frenzy of the time, and it is well-written with an intelligent, likable heroine, to me it seemed entirely too long and a bit tedious to get through. Would I read more? Possibly.

3.5 stars. I was very surprised by this book as I usually avoid the series fiction genre(except Shardlake) as I find them formulaic and generally inferior writing but I really enjoyed this one. I only chose it as I have a particular affection for books set in Brighton. I found the writing, characterisation and evocation of Victorian Brighton to be very good and I may, after a decent interval , read the next one!
March 22, 2019
I received this book from netgalley in exchange for a review. I restarted this book twice before kind of finishing it. The story was so slow I found myself flipping forward to find new information. All of the characters seemed to blend together. Even Mina didn’t seem to stand out much from the others. Events were repeated many times just in different persons’ homes. It just isn’t worth the read.
July 6, 2019
This is the first in a series featuring the wonderful character of Mina Scarletti. Set in Victorian Brighton in 1871, the story tells of Mina's suspicions about a spiritualist medium who has recently arrived in town and her investigations into the world of seances. The Victorian obsession with spiritualism is excellently depicted and the book has a great cast of characters. I will certainly be buying more in the series. Looking forward to reading the next one while on holiday shortly.
April 26, 2020
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have to say that I really enjoyed the beginning of this book. But half way through I lost interest, although I am not sure why. The story started to meander and I kept picking it up to read and then putting it down again. When I finally finished I thought, that was good. But I am not sure that I want to read the rest of the series.
March 26, 2022
This was a good book. I would actually rate this a 3.5. To me this book fits into the cozy mystery genre, I would say it is better than some but not as good as others. The writing style was fine but the book felt as if it were stretched, it would have been a better read if it were shorter. I look forward to reading more of the series which will give me the opportunity to see the progression if the writing.

Insightful and atmospheric
A fantastic little mystery full of character, harm, and atmosphere. A worthy read for fans of Holmes, without being a copy, and quick trip establish its own quirks and identity. The mystery is deftly handled, and firmly rooted in a cast of well rounded characters.

Victorian era mystery filled with strange religiosity and occult fascinations. Very slow build. This is light cozy mystery it just took too long to build up and the ending became obvious half way through.
This is the first in a series so perhaps the storylines tighten and the mysteries improve.

Thank you for ARC from NetGalley for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
A quiet Victorian mystery/historical fiction, taking place in 1871, that is written fairly well, although I found at times it moved a tad slow. The plot was interesting as were the well-defined characters.
First of three books. Rating a 3star because, while it wasn't a bad book, it just didn't excite me.

Well written and fun book about a woman infiltrating seances trying to stop her mother being taken in. Many very amusing lines like: "her mother was entertaining one of her church visitors, ladies whose sole occupations in life were to call on the sick and miserable, and make them even more painfully aware of just how sick and miserable they were"

1871 and Mina Scarletti is living in Brighton with her mother. When a medium arrives in the town she and her mother attend a seance. But Mina is sceptical and feels she must expose the fraud.
An enjoyable mystery with likeable characters.

Wonderful Brighton historical cozy mystery. Truly enjoyed it. Plenty of twists and turns. Looking forward to reading more by this author. I received a copy from NetGalley and this is my honest review.
June 16, 2018
This is advertised as a cozy mystery but it’s more like an old Victorian novel. I was drawn to the book because of the title. At times I thought it was really good but then it bogged down and became too wordy. I did like Mina .
June 25, 2018
Another strong Victorian woman solving mysteries when that wasn’t popular. Although Mina has scoliosis, she doesn’t let that stop her from living life and looking out for her widowed mother. Looking forward to reading the second one in this series.
May 18, 2019
I liked this book. I liked it allot. It's one of those books you say to yourself, this could *really* make for a good movie/series. There are more books and I can't wait to read them. Hope they're just as good. The book takes right off.
May 31, 2019
Another interesting novel
This is the second of the series I have read, love them as they delve a little into the 'seedy' side of the Victorian age. Mina, a well imagined almost anti hero, her family and friends make the books!

This is the first in a series with a young woman with scoliosis as the person trying to solve the mystery. Mia Scarletti is dubious about the new mediums in town and she is determined to prove they are charlatans trying to swindle grief-ridden people out of their money.
