About this audiobook
This short story, set in 1879 San Francisco, features two elderly dressmakers, Miss Minnie and Miss Millie Moffet, who face a moral dilemma of no small dimensions. They turn for advice to Annie Fuller, a widowed boardinghouse owner who supplements her income as a clairvoyant, Madam Sibyl.
For those who have read Locke's other books in her USA Today bestselling Victorian San Francisco mysteries series, this short story comes after the second book in the series, Uneasy Spirits, and is an amusing glimpse into the lives of Annie Fuller's two most eccentric boarders.
