“The Fortune Tellers of Rue Daru is a spine-tingling gothic tale of family, a legacy of secrets, and the dangerous cost of unearthing the past through a forbidden séance. Gilmore conjures 1920s Paris and the Russian émigré community, delivering a haunting and compelling story that is sure to grip readers.”
—Madeline Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Book Society

“An ingenious literary magician, Gilmore effectively and elegantly conjures up Paris in the 1920s and its Russian émigré community, adding to her addictively readable gothic tale a dash of romance and a generous splash of spooky supernaturalism. Fans of Yangsze Choo’s The Fox Wife (2024) and Jessie Burton’s The Miniaturist (2014) will be equally enamored with this bewitching tale.”
—Booklist (STARRED review)

“Readers follow Zina in the present and Valya in both the present and through flashbacks as this supernatural horror story winds its way through the vibrant streets of 1920s Paris and into the deadly politics of late 19th-century Russia, with headstrong Zina owning her powers and wielding them at any cost in search of the truth. VERDICT Gilmore’s (The Haunting of Moscow House) latest historical horror will be another crowd-pleaser. For fans of menacing supernatural tales of family secrets, ghosts, possession, and intrigue, such as Alma Katsu’s The Deep or Daphne Fama’s House of Monstrous Women.”
