From The Publisher:
An amateur sleuth and her detective husband inherit a country house where a maid goes missing in this mystery novella set in Victorian England.
It's the autumn of 1890, and almost a year has passed since-much to their surprise-Lady Julia and her detective husband, Nicholas Brisbane, became parents. Just as the couple begins to adapt, a solicitor arrives with a strange bequest. Nicholas, it seems, has inherited a country house-but only if he and his family are in residence from All Hallows' Eve through Bonfire Night.
Neither Lady Julia nor Nicholas is likely to be put off by local legends of ghosts and witches, and the eerie noises and strange lights that flit from room to room simply intrigue them. Until a new lady's maid disappears, igniting a caper that will have explosive results . . .
