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

“I think what stood out to me, as a 1st time reader of Byrd Nash, was the main character: a strong female lead that isn’t catty or overly sexual or manipulative is hard to find!”

“The mystery in the story is good, but it’s the characters and the dialogue that I really enjoy, along with the explanations and experiences of the ghosts. The romance is a very slow burn, but the attraction is definitely there.”
