When Vicar, Paul Goodfellow shows up at Queenie's home wanting her help with a strange doll he has been given. Paul doesn't ordinarily believe in such things but the doll has affected his three daughters and he needs someone who can deal with it. Queenie along with her sister Sybil uncover the forces that are possessing the doll are quite a match for Queenie but she is determined to banish the evil trying its best to destroy those around it.

Terrific story. I liked how the story flowed and was hooked from the very beginning. I will have to go back and read the rest of the series. Terrific story.

I simply loved this book! Sybil and Queenie are great characters that you instantly love and I found myself laughing out loud while reading (heck, devouring; read it in 3 days) this novel! The book is written in a fast paced style full of action and plot twists that will certainly will not let you stop reading.

Really good series. All four books were intense and a delight to read. I hope there will be more in the series.

This was a much darker adventure for the Psychic Sisters than the previous three books and I enjoyed it immensely. Powerful imagery, interesting new characters and a rattling good plot, this was completely entertaining and interesting. It was a pleasure to be back in the company of Queenie and Sybil. One little quibble - Sybil was sat on the bench for a lot of this story. It was definitely Queenie's book and she was just a bit too cantankerous at times but that may change now she is getting roses (no spoilers😉)

The psychic sister's books are well written and a compelling storyline with emotive situations and horrifically graffiti horror. Don't let them pass you by.

Brilliant

I love all the books of The Psychic Sisters series. Sybil is the quieter sister whereas Queenie just goes for it I love Queenie character she never suffers fools. I really recommend reading these books once I start one they're so hard to put down.
