New from Waterstones Prize-shortlisted author-illustrator team, Lucy Strange and Pam Smy: a spirited series of “cosy gothic” mysteries, starring supernatural sleuths, Lockett & Wilde.
“This book has more shadowy mysteries than twelve graveyards and more delicious twists than my favourite pretzel. All hail Lockett & Wilde!” Lemony Snicket
"Wildly funny." Ben Miller
Matilda Lockett is used to playing the role of Poor Dead Edna on stage with her spirit-medium aunt, Signora Valentina, and theatrical uncle Barnabus – but when they all decamp to Beauchamp Manor to deal with a most dreadful haunting, she discovers she really can see ghosts! There she meets ghost boy, Edgar Wilde, who shares her love of supernatural snooping, and together they set about unravelling the case of The Ghosts of the Manor.
Classic spooky mystery reimagined for fans of cosy crime by the Waterstones Prize and Carnegie-shortlisted creators, Lucy Strange and Pam Smy. You'd have to be DEAD not to love it...
Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Robin Stevens
Stunning colour-illustrated storytelling
“Opening the pages of Lockett and Wilde is like stepping into a wicked yet wonderful theatre, where the stage is home to eccentric characters, shocking tales, and ghostly apparitions.” Jack Meggitt-Phillips, author of The Beast and the Bethany series
"A stunningly spooky mystery." Maz Evans, author of Who Let the Gods Out?
"Funny, spooky and cosy - I loved it!" Andy Stanton, author of Mr Gum
