This new mystery series has distinguishing features that are going to make it a huge hit with young readers. These include the sprightliest of plots, packed with incident, humour and more than a touch of the supernatural; wonderful two-colour illustrations by Pam Smy that bring even more life and drama to the story; and a particularly appealing detective duo comprising psychic assistant and professional ‘ghost child’ Matilda Lockett, and actual ghost, Edgar Wilde.

The two meet when Matilda’s Aunt Evelyn, stage spiritualist, is hired to ‘move on’ the ghost haunting Beauchamp Manor. Matilda might pretend to be ‘Dead Edna’ in her aunt’s stage act, but she’s able to see real ghosts too, which is why she can talk to Edgar, who’s been haunting the house unnoticed by anyone for years. As the two become friends, they set to working out what the other ghost in the Manor is up to, and what it all has to do with a priceless missing jewel.

One to recommend to young crime aficionados, lovers of ghost stories, fans of adventure stories and everyone else besides.
