The Society For Paranormals is Vered Ehsani’s longest and most distinctive series, blending steampunk technology with cozy mystery conventions in a colonial East African setting. Ghosts of Tsavo (2015) introduced the concept, and the series has grown to fourteen books spanning a decade.
Early entries like The Automaton’s Wife, Revenge of the Mantis, and Curse of the Nandi establish the world and its mix of Victorian-era technology and African mythology. The series later shifted to carrying the protagonist’s name in the titles, with entries like Miss Knight and the Night in Lagos and Miss Knight and the Pyramid’s Puzzle expanding the geographic scope beyond East Africa.
The African setting is what makes this series stand out in the crowded cozy mystery market. Ehsani draws on real locations and cultural elements to create a backdrop that feels genuinely different from the typical English village or American small town.
