The Diviners
by Libba Bray
After publicly embarrassing her parents, irrepressible Evie O'Neill is shipped off to live with her Uncle Will. She’s thrilled—it’s the Roaring Twenties and Will just happens to live in New York City. Evie is caught up in the excitement, which only intensifies when Uncle Will, the curator of the Museum of American folklore, Superstition, and the Occult, is called upon to help the police with a series of occult-based murders. Soon Evie is in the midst of the investigation—and wondering if her supernatural power could help catch the killer. Bray’s deft characterizations, fast-paced dialogue, and portrayal of the 20’s make this an engaging read.
