About the Books
In Lockett & Wilde's Dreadfully Haunting Mysteries: The Ghosts of the Manor, stage girl Matilda Lockett is used to playing a ghost in her aunt's spirit-medium act – until she discovers she can genuinely see spirits, and teams up with ghost boy Edgar Wilde to solve a dreadfully haunting case at Beauchamp Manor. Our Castle by the Sea follows a girl who feels small and overlooked, torn between fear of enemy planes overhead and her destiny within the ancient legend of the Daughters of Stone, in a tense and moving wartime tale set around a clifftop lighthouse. The Ghost of Gosswater is a gothic chiller in which a mysterious girl slips through a crack in time each New Year's midnight, determined to uncover dark secrets buried in the past of a crumbling Lake District estate. Sisters of the Lost Marsh carries readers into misty fenland folklore, while The Island at the Edge completes the set with another atmospheric adventure from the author. Together these five novels showcase Lucy Strange's gift for blending history, family drama and the uncanny into unforgettable stories.
