The House of Mystery

Ellie McEwan is a healer with a rare gift. She can see if someone is good or bad from the colour of their aura. The Surrey police don’t normally use psychics — but when DCI Bob Foreman is desperate, he turns to Ellie.

On a quiet, moonlit night, troubled teenager Ollie Cruise goes to meet an older boy down by the River Wey — and never comes home. No one seems to know anything about this mysterious new friend — and DCI Foreman suspects something very nasty has happened to Ollie. He hopes Ellie might be able to help.

Ellie has her hands full already trying to help two unusual children. Five-year-old Harry sketches WWII bomber planes with uncanny technical detail. Eight-year-old Christopher writes chilling stories of events before they actually happen.

Then a man driving home from work comes across a boy’s body by the side of the road. He covers it with a blanket and goes to fetch help. On his return, he finds the blanket . . . but no body.

Ellie realises the boys are connected to something very dangerous.

She follows the trail to an isolated mansion deep in the woods, home to the mysterious Eleventh House — and to an extraordinary secret.

This utterly gripping supernatural mystery, full of twists and turns, is something rather different from bestselling crime writer Joy Ellis — and will keep you enthralled to the last page. View Less
