If you combine a historical mystery with Gothic vibes and a paranormal bent, you will get The House on Vesper Sands. In it, Inspector Cutter and Gideon Bliss investigate a string of deaths that begin with a seamstress flinging herself out of a window. The twists and turns of the plot keep the reader constantly trying to piece all the threads together. Read if you enjoy: Victorian England, historical mysteries, Rebecca, intrepid female journalists
