The White Owl of Thicklewood Hall: Trussel and Gout: Paranormal Investigations No. 3 - Paperback

by M. a. Knights (Author)

Clementine Trussel's first proper case as Mr Gout's apprentice begins badly and shows no sign of improving.

Summoned to a remote country house by a mysterious letter, Clementine and Mr Gout arrive at Thicklewood Hall late, tired, and thoroughly unwelcome. The residents' reception is cold at best, and when they are attacked almost as soon as they cross the threshold, it becomes clear that whatever is haunting the estate is far more complicated than they were led to believe.

Mr Gout is immediately suspicious. The story they have been told does not quite add up, and somewhere within the grounds of Thicklewood, he is certain there is a body no one is willing to acknowledge.

As tensions rise, Clementine must navigate shifting loyalties, half-truths, and a growing sense that the greatest danger may not lie with the creature they were summoned to destroy - but with the people who summoned them in the first place.

The White Owl of Thicklewood Hall is the third instalment in Trussel & Gout: Paranormal Investigations, a cosy supernatural mystery series filled with eccentric characters, gentle humour, and small, unsettling mysteries where trust is rarely given freely, and never without consequence.

This is a short, cosy read of approximately three hours.
