Agnes hopes that if Pearl can contact her deceased clients, they might be able to reveal who killed them and why.
When the police and her kindly brother-in-law fail to take her anxious pleas seriously, Agnes’ search for answers takes her to Pearl, an albino child spirit medium who lives with her half-sister, Myrtle, and her ailing father. And three? You might begin to believe that a killer is targeting Agnes’ business, which is exactly what’s happening. Life is a constant struggle for Agnes, both financially and physically, and when one of her clients is murdered shortly after sitting for her, it’s not long before the police arrive on her doorstep. The advent of the photograph has seen a dwindling interest in her art form but Agnes has an elderly mother and orphaned nephew to support. Set against the atmospheric historical backdrop of Victorian Bath, Laura Purcell’s The Shape of Darkness centres on silhouette artist Agnes Darken who, still recovering from a serious illness, is struggling to keep her business afloat.
