Description

Beyond the village of Raven's Edge stands the Gateway to the Dead - a crumbling stone arch marking the site where a long-ago battle raged and the dead were buried where they fell. But it's the forgotten mansion hidden in the trees behind it that holds the real mystery...

Lady Peony has lived at Blackheath Hall for decades, invisible to the world - until a ghostly soldier begins knocking at her door. But Lady Peony is no fool. In her experience, where there are spirits, there are schemers. And someone wants her out of that house.

As DI Ben Taylor and DS Harriet March begin their investigation, bitter winds howl through Raven's Edge and strange mists curl around the battle site. Harriet must untangle what's real from what's imagined. Is there truly a ghost haunting the old house, or is someone very much alive using supernatural tales as cover for their own deadly agenda?

Atmospheric, chilling and deliciously gothic, this cosy mystery wraps ancient legends and murder into one unputdownable story. Perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Agatha Christie and readers who like their crime with a shiver down the spine!
