Wednesday meets The Secret Garden in this gorgeously gothic and mysterious adventure about family secrets, devilishly bad deeds, and a touch of murder . . . From the bestselling author of The Unadoptables and The Midnighters, and perfect for fans of The Swifts and Murder Most Unladylike.
Once, the great house of Skulkmoor stood proudly on its hillside, commanding the attention of anyone who came by. Now, it is a curious puzzle of a place - not least thanks to the giant wall which cuts it straight in half, separating the two warring families that live inside it.
For you see, a hundred years ago, the Fox family was torn apart by a murder - and a question of inheritance. With no clear heir, the vast family fortune - and the house - has been literally divided in two. But now, two young cousins, one from each rival side of Skulkmoor, must team up to solve the decades-old crime - or face losing their home forever.
Can Ted and Iris put their differences aside and save their family fortune - or will they play their part in destroying everything?
