The Blurb On The Back:
The city of Yorke is in a state of panic. There's been a murder! Rumours are circling that an ancient ghost-hound is the culprit.
Rose Raventhorpe, her friend Orpheus and they city's secret society of butlers search for clues down dark, eerie skitterways, on the mist-covered moors and atop the ancient walls of the city. Rose believes that the villain is human, and she's determined to prove it.
There's no sweeping this crime under the carpet …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The third in Janine Beacham's ROSE RAVENTHORPE SERIES is a supernatural mystery novel for children aged 9+ set in an alternate 19th century York with a twisting plot filled with red herrings and action and although I felt that the cast of characters was perhaps too wide as I lost track of who was who, this is in part because I haven't read the earlier books and there's certainly enough here to make me want to rectify that.
ROSE RAVENTHORPE INVESTIGATES" HOUNDS AND HAUNTINGS was released in the United Kingdom on 11th January 2018. Thanks to Walker Books for the review copy of this book.
