The Howards dont know who I really am, but Im learning all their secrets.
When I was six months old, my mother gave me to her sister. Then she left to work as a maid at Highwood Hall. She never came back for me.
I want to know why she abandoned me. So I retrace her steps, lying my way into the same job she held over twenty years ago.
As I slip through the old corridors of this stately homeuncovering secret tunnels and peepholes hidden behind the gloomy portraitsIm desperate to uncover the truth. But it wont be easy. No one knows why Im really here.
I soon learn I need to keep it that way. Because theres a chance Im prying into matters someone wants left buried. A white gift box arrives addressed to me. One tug of the pretty ribbon unveils a twisted scenea miniature doll version of me lying in a pool of red paint.
Who sent me this threat? The bosss son, Alex, who proves fond of playing games with the maids? Perhaps its Mrs Huxley, the stern housekeeper always appearing mysteriously from the shadows?
