Between possessions and poltergeists, Elinor speaks with the dead to solve mysteries in this six book, Gaslamp fantasy set in a 1900s French-inspired world.

Elinor Chalamet’s talent to speak with the dead may have landed her in the soup.  When a body in the canal brings her to the morgue, she’s happy to help until Tristan Fontaine, the Duke de Archambeau, places her under house arrest. But no one tells Elinor what to do! She’ll solve the case even if it means putting the duke in his place. Actually, that part of the investigation may be a pleasure!

Murder mystery meets supernatural fantasy in this six-part Gaslamp ghost mystery series by Byrd Nash. These are friendly to 18+ readers with a low spice, slow burn romance.

This Gaslamp fantasy will please readers of Emily Finch (Samantha and Wyatt Mysteries); Carla Simpson (Angus Brodie and Mikaela Forsythe); Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate series; Deanna Raybourn (Veronica Speedwell series); Elizabeth Peter’s Ameilia Peabody series; and Enola Homes by Nancy Springer.

What Readers are Saying

“love a slow burn for books that build potential romance - not like lightning, but over time and connections -- like romance in the real world.”

“Another cracker of a story in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Stories.”

“This was a damn fine Gaslamp fantasy ghost mystery with a dash of slow burn romance, featuring a strong-minded female Sherlock Holmes-like character.Did I read it in one sitting? Yep. I sure did. Did it make me chuckle and even laugh out loud? Hell yeah. Did it keep me at the edge of the seat with those ghostly mysteries? Absolutely. Did I love it enough to buy the rest of the series? You can bet your bookish asses on that.”

Goodreads
“I wasn’t sure what I was getting into because I wasn’t sure if the ghosts were real…I was happily surprised to find out they were! The story is funny with plenty of laugh out loud moments, mysterious at times, and possibly has a hint of attraction between the characters (I hope so anyway!).”

“The two things I’ve loved most about this series are the characters and the world-building. Both are done very well and kept me looking forward to more.”

“The third book in the Madame Chalamet series is even better than the first two! I have a read a few books by this author now and am getting more and more impressed at the attention to detail he shows, specifically surrounding the mystery the main characters are solving in the books.”
