We throw our bags on the floor by the bed, too tired to unpack. I fall into our chair and Vincent drops to the bed with his arms wide. We both sigh deeply. What a trip! I hear steps coming up the stairs in a hurry. Vincent sits up on his elbows and we lookFortsæt læsning “9. The case of the haunted B&B”

1. Things are strange for a while. Aphrodite is still pissed and there is not a lot of love going around. I still love who I’ve always loved (Vincent and Cassie), so I’m not much bothered by it. But a lot of other people are really cranky, and it’s frankly getting a bit annoying. VincentFortsæt læsning “8. The case of the sister and the zombie fish”

1. Cassie is home! I watch her walking down the gangplank wrapped in heavy furs, and two sailors bend low with her luggage. She looks like a bear. I run to hug her – we all do – and we laugh and talk all at once. She has been in Valakia, where it is presumablyFortsæt læsning “7. How to exorcise a demon”

1. Homeless The journey home from Nanga is rather trivial compared to the last couple of months. The weather is surprisingly mild, and we encounter no storms at all.

I am 31 years old and winter is upon us. The first snow falls prettily and quietly, and covers the city in white dust. For a day the streets are clean and bright. But soon the snow is black with coaldust and dirt, and we put on galoshes and raise our skirts not to getFortsæt læsning “4. The case of the ruined city”

We lay low for a while. I redo Vincent’s tattoos and can practically hear the demon growl under his skin as I do so. Henry has his eyes seen to, and then goes away for a while to recuperate. Then they split us up to do different tasks. They send Cassie to Nanga to fetchFortsæt læsning “3. The case of the chinese whispers”

I am 30 years old, and we are running. Sir Henry Haggard, our household scholar and my mentor, is surprisingly fast. He is 55 and usually library bound, but he sure can run! MacKenzie is right behind him carrying the box we took. Then follows Max, the inventor, and then Cassie and lastly me. IFortsæt læsning “2. The case of the gates of Tartaros”

I am 30 years old and we are travelling by stagecoach to the Falsingham Estate. We are summoned by the dowager baroness Henrietta Bosby-Falsingham to help her 16 year old granddaughter, who seems to be possessed or haunted or something. There is something wrong with her, something supernatural, so we come. We are: me andFortsæt læsning “1. The case of the cursed heiress”
