‘I think it might be her best book yet . . . an absolute page-turner that children will love’ - Sophie Kirtley, bestselling author of The Wild Way Home
Wednesday meets The Secret Garden with a touch of Knives Out in this gorgeously gothic and mysterious adventure about family secrets, devilishly bad deeds, and just a touch of murder . . .
Welcome to Skulkmoor Manor, where grudges and glory are passed down as heirlooms . . .
Once, the great house of Skulkmoor stood proudly on its hillside, commanding the attention of anyone who came by. Now, it is a curious puzzle of a place - not least thanks to the giant wall which cuts it straight in half, separating the two warring families that live inside it.
For you see, many years ago, the Fox family was torn apart by a question of murder - and of inheritance. With no clear heir, the vast family fortune - and the house - has been literally divided in two. But now, two young cousins, one from rival sides of Skulkmoor, must race to solve the crime - or face losing their home forever.
Can Ted and Iris put their differences aside and save their family fortune - or will they play their part in destroying everything?
From the bestselling author of The Unadoptables and The Midnighters, this story is perfect for fans of The Swifts and Murder Most Unladylike.
