From Little Stack
Want to draw a spirit? The salt in your blood or tears will do. Roos Beckman knows spirits. Her spirit companion, Ruth, has been with her for as long as she can remember. When she meets a wealthy young widow Agnes at a backroom séance, Agnes insists on bringing her back to her estate. But when someone is murdered, Roos is the most likely culprit.
If I were to pick, I’d dress as the corpse-like Ruth and linger at the edge of the party. Then again, rich widow and naïve seer might also be fun. Pick your poison and slay.
Spirits are drawn to salt, be it blood or tears. Roos Beckman has a spirit companion only she can see. Ruth—strange, corpse-like, and dead for centuries—is the light of Roos's life. That is, until the wealthy young widow Agnes Knoop visits one of Roos's backroom seances, and the two strike up a connection.
Soon, Roos is whisked away to the crumbling estate Agnes inherited upon the death of her husband, where an ill woman haunts the halls, strange smells drift through the air at night, and mysterious stone statues reside in the family chapel. Something dreadful festers in the manor, but still, the attraction between Roos and Agnes is undeniable.
Then, someone is murdered. Poor, alone, and with a history of 'hysterics', Roos is the obvious culprit. With her sanity and innocence in question, she'll have to prove who—or what—is at fault or lose everything she holds dear.
