The House of Mystery: a gripping crime thriller full of twists


Overview

A missing boy. Three extraordinary children. And a darkness that will stop at nothing. Fourteen-year-old Ollie Cruise is missing. He was last seen two nights ago, down by the river, with an older boy. DCI Bob Foreman suspects something very nasty has happened to him - and there's only one person who can uncover the truth: Ellie McEwan, a healer with a rare psychic gift. At her Surrey healing centre, Ellie is already alarmed by two new cases. Five-year-old Harry sketches WWII bomber planes with uncanny technical precision. Eight-year-old Christopher writes chilling stories of events before they actually happen. When the body of a teenager is found on a lonely forest road, Ellie realises the boys are connected to something very dangerous. All leads point to an isolated mansion deep in the woods, home to the mysterious Eleventh House - and an extraordinary secret. To save the children - and those she loves - Ellie must lead a perilous rescue. But it will take every ounce of her courage, and stretch her ability to its limits. DISCOVER A TOTALLY ENTHRALLING CRIME THRILLER WITH A PARANORMAL TWIST. This gripping blend of crime, suspense and the supernatural is perfect for fans of Sarah Pinborough, Elly Griffiths and Susan Hill.

Author Information

UK #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE JACKMAN & EVANS AND DI NIKKI GALENA SERIES; SHORTLISTED FOR BOOK OF THE YEAR FICTION: CRIME & THRILLER AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARS 2021 OVER 3 MILLION BOOKS SOLD! Joy grew up and lived in Kent, trained in floristry in Mayfair and ran her own highly successful floristry business in Weybridge for many years. In the mid-1990s, she followed her lifelong love of books, first as the manager of an independent bookshop in Leatherhead, Surrey, then as a writer. When she retired, Joy and her partner Jacqueline and their two spaniels settled in a village just outside Boston, captivated by the Lincolnshire Fens. Joy's happy home life is far removed from her storylines, however, and while she loves living in the misty Fens, the area provides a remote and eerie backdrop to her novels. Joy is also able to add the authenticity vital to any crime thriller by drawing on Jacqueline's inside knowledge, to confirm procedures and the reality of tackling brutal crime and criminals in a modern police force.
