That's a taste of the historical plot I propose for the next Elizabeth book.
1888 -- The famous psychics, the beautiful DeVine Sisters, weary from a European tour, have come to spend a quiet summer at the luxurious Mountain Park Hotel in Hot Springs, NC.

The present day plot (May, after the events of In a Dark Season) finds Elizabeth's sister Gloria seeking refuge at the farm. Gloria hates Nature and is not a happy camper . . . but she suspects her current husband is trying to kill her.
