    Meet Harriet White, Sherlock Holmes' feisty – and entirely fake – assistant, in this gloriously new take on one of Sherlock's most famous cases, perfect for fans of Anita Prose, Verity Bright and Janice Hallett. 
    'When did you become aware something was wrong?’ 
    ‘...When the screaming began…’ 
    Harriet White is no stranger to odd correspondence. At her desk in the Baker Street building society, her job is to reply to the mail they receive on behalf of Sherlock Holmes. 
    But while letters to the fictional sleuth may be plentiful, telegrams are rare, and so when she receives one describing the grave situation of celebrated author Philip St John, her interest is piqued. The writer describes St John as being consumed by terror, seeing ghostly apparitions on the fens, and only at ease in the company of his loyal wolfhound. 
    Before long, Harry finds herself in Cambridgeshire under the guise of being Holmes’ assistant. The residents of Thurmwell Manor believe their master is cursed. Harry is sure there must be a logical explanation, but inside the echoey halls of the grand gothic house, her confidence in science and reason begin to crumble… 
    Can Harry solve the mystery before the fens claim their next victim?

    Is there anything scarier than a homicidal hospital? 
     
     
     
    There's no love lost between Imogene and her boyfriend's mother. But when Eleanor is admitted to a sanatorium for her migraines, Imogene takes the high road and visits. 
     
     
     
    The hospital is housed in a creepy mansion with a chilling past. The medicines being used are a throwback to the days of snake oil and superstition. And while she's there, Imogene bumps into a newly deceased patient. 
     
     
     
    As hauntings go, this ghost steals the show. And everything else. Turns out Becky Riddell was being treated for kleptomania. Her influence is hard to resist. 
     
     
     
    Things take a sinister turn when dead bodies start popping up around the sanatorium at an alarming rate. Imogene knows she should investigate, but the last thing she needs is more drama in her life. She has enough thanks to the poltergeist that's been dogging her steps for the past month. 
     
     
     
    However, if Imogene doesn't figure out who's killing off patients and why, she'll have to move out of her apartment. Thanks to Becky's compulsion, she's pinched so much stuff, there's barely enough room for her and her cat. Besides, El would never forgive her if his mother became one of the not-so-dearly departed.
