Withering Heights
by Dorothy Cannell

Meet Ellie Haskell in this utterly charming cozy caper set in the Yorkshire Moors by bestselling author Dorothy Cannell.

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.

An utterly charming English cozy murder mystery, perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton, Rhys Bowen, Steve Higgs and Richard Osman.

Genre: Historical Crime & Mystery
