A fun new series of gloriously gothic mysteries, starring supernatural sleuths, Lockett & Wilde, and a cast of ghosts galore!

“This book has more shadowy mysteries than twelve graveyards and more delicious twists than my favourite pretzel. All hail Lockett & Wilde!”
—Lemony Snicket

Matilda Lockett is used to playing the role of Poor Dead Edna the Orphan on stage with her spirit-medium aunt, Signora Valentina, and theatrical uncle Barnabus. However, when they all decamp to Beauchamp Manor to deal with a most dreadful haunting, she discovers she really can see ghosts! There she meets ghost boy, Edgar Wilde, who shares her love of supernatural snooping, and together they set about unravelling the case of The Ghosts of the Manor.

Classic spooky mystery reimagined for fans of cosy crime. You'd have to be DEAD not to love it...

"Funny, spooky and cosy - I loved it!" -Andy Stanton

About the Author

Lucy Strange is the bestselling author of The Secret of Nightingale Wood, the award-winning Our Castle by the Sea and other historical middle grade. Her books capture elements of classic children’s literature in a style that is engaging and accessible for today’s readers. Often inspired by the gothic genre, folklore and fairy tales, Lucy combines British landscapes and historical settings with touches of the supernatural, creating convincing worlds in which anything might happen... Right now, Lucy is probably sitting in her writing shed at the bottom of her garden, gazing out over the misty meadows of the Kent countryside, dreaming up her next fantastical tale.

Pam Smy is the award-winning author-illustrator of Thornhill (shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize) and The Hideaway. She has illustrated many other books for children and is Senior Lecturer on the MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art.
