Publisher's summary

On an isolated isle off the western coast of Scotland, spirited American Jane Wunderly must investigate a secret society where esoteric rituals blur the line between what’s real, what’s illusion, and what’s deadly …

Isle of Iona, 1927: Cast away on a remote locale, Jane’s latest assignment depends on concealing her identity and blending in at an occult gathering. Not even her fiancé, Redvers, can be too close as she uncovers the truth about Robert Nightingale, enigmatic leader of the Order of the Golden Dawn—a group made up of supernatural ceremonies, influential people, and an undefinable darkness.

When a woman tries to escape to the mainland only to be found murdered in the moors, the shocking scene reveals it’s easier to join the Golden Dawn than it is to leave.

Jane, set on solving the crime and catching the next ferry with Redvers, realizes she may be among the few still grasping reality. One high-ranking member searches for the killer by attempting to access otherworldly planes of existence, while others become immersed in a strange solstice ritual.

Then there’s Nightingale and the rivals who discarded him to start a new temple. As a second death brings fresh clues into focus, Jane needs to navigate a frightening dilemma—playing along won’t help her crack the mystery, but revealing too much could be a fatal mistake …

Too far out

I did not enjoy this story as much as earlier ones. The subject was simply weird in my opinion and didn’t make much sense. I’m not saying that this wasn’t a thing in the 1920’s but it sure is not my thing. I struggled to get through it.

Love this series, however...

I must admit that this book was my least fave if the series. I did not care for the subject matter, and the mystery was not interesting. Having Jane and Redvers not working together on the mystery took the fun out of the story. The best part of previous books was their partnership.

I was so very disappointed that the marriage was tacked on at the end of this tedious tale. Almost as an unimportant afterthought. I hoped for more from their union. After waiting for them to finally come together it was a huge disappointment.
