Beatrix Greene (Ash Parsons) Books in Order

Set in Victorian England, the Beatrix Greene story begins with a woman who has made a practical career out of other people's belief in ghosts. Beatrix is a sought-after spiritual medium, but she knows her séances are carefully staged. The work gives her something rare for a woman on her own, a chance at financial independence and control over her future.

Then James Walker enters the picture. He is a scientist and skeptic with a reputation for exposing frauds, so Beatrix has every reason to be wary when he offers her a large sum of money. His job is simple on paper: travel to Ashbury Manor and conduct a séance that will settle whether the house is truly haunted.

Naturally, Ashbury Manor has other ideas.

Beatrix arrives expecting a performance, not proof. She is joined by a small group of guests, all drawn into the manor's strange history and James's hidden reasons for arranging the night. The house is isolated, its past is full of pain, and the mood shifts quickly from uneasy curiosity to immediate danger when the séance awakens something that cannot be explained away.

The central tension comes from Beatrix having to confront the possibility that her supposed trickery may have opened a door to a real supernatural force. Escape is not easy, and the people inside the manor must uncover old secrets if they want to stop the haunting. Beatrix and James are pushed into an uneasy partnership, with both their assumptions and their private motives put under pressure.

This is a gothic haunted-house mystery with a brisk, serial-style pace. It leans into séances, skeptical investigators, locked doors, family secrets, and a vengeful presence in the dark. The story was created as an episodic audio drama, so its chapters move like installments in a compact supernatural season.

At its heart, The Haunting of Beatrix Greene is about a clever woman who thinks she understands the rules of a con, then finds herself in a place where the rules are much older and much more dangerous.
