Home is where the horror is... Thriller writer Lady Violet Thorn has withdrawn to the Suffolk market town of Montford with two servants and her leading character, the adventuress Ruby Gibson, for company. However, her peace is disturbed when a stranger asks for help, claiming her friend is being kept prisoner in her own home. Lady Violet is skeptical, but the girl seems so frightened that she decides to investigate. Then, a woman is killed outside Violet's house, and another is murdered in town. And as the deaths mount, she becomes convinced that they all lead to one place: the increasingly forbidding Haglin House, and whoever lives there...

A fresh, witty, and totally enthralling take on the classic crime genre, perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Oscar De Muriel.
