Wakenhyrst meets du Maurier in South America, based on the author's time spent living in Brazil. The Haunting of Las Lagrimas takes the classic trope of a rattling English country house and transposes it to the wilds of Buenos Aires, for a fresh, updated take on the genre.

Ursula Kelp, a young English gardener, travels to Buenos Aires to take up the role of head gardener at a long-abandoned estate.

Ursula is warned by the locals that the estate is haunted and soon she believes that her loneliness is making her imagine thingsโ€”the sound of footsteps outside her bedroom door, the touch of hands on her shoulders when there's no one there...
