Withering Heights (Ellie Haskell Mystery, #11)

One dark and stormy night, Ellie’s precocious thirteen-year-old niece turns up at Merlin Court. Ariel has run away from home — and Ellie must take her back to her parents in Yorkshire.

But Ariel’s family live at spooky Withering Heights, a crumbling old mansion home to some rather strange goings-on . . .

First, the kindly cook, Mrs Cake, falls down the stairs.
Then the visiting vicar dies in the middle of drinking a cup of tea.
And there are rumours that a mysterious villain is stalking the halls of Withering Heights, seeking revenge . . .

It’s up to Gothic romance addict Ellie to get to the bottom of these sinister events — before anyone else meets a sticky end.
