The Inheritance

A manor house and money beyond her wildest dreams. It could all be hers, if she catches a killer . . . 

Sarah doesn't know much about her estranged aunt, Evelyn.

So when Evie dies, Sarah is shocked to hear her final wishes.

Evie wants Sarah to inherit her fortune - including a foreboding mansion in a small Northumberland town.

But that's not all she wants. For most of her life, she'd been haunted by the loss of a friend. A girl who'd gone missing, from the very house Evie has left to Sarah. A girl who was never found. A house whose secrets were never revealed.

Now, her conditions are simple. Sarah can have everything - but she has to catch a killer first...
