Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Maisie Hitchins and her dog Eddie escape London's smog for a country manor with friend Alice. But eerie noises, foul smells, and a ghostly cat suggest the house is haunted. Is it truly supernatural, or is there a logical explanation? Maisie must unravel the mystery before fear takes over. Can her detective skills uncover the truth behind the manor's chilling secrets?

From the publisher

“[A] young Nancy Drew adventure by way of Downton Abbey.” –Publishers Weekly review of The Case of the Stolen Sixpence In book three of Holly Webb’s The Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins, twelve-year-old Maisie and her dog Eddie are invited to join Maisie’s friend Alice on a trip to the country. It’s lovely to get away from the London smog, but there is something strange about the manor where the girls are staying. Odd noises, horrid smells, and sightings of a spectral cat keep them up at night. Has Alice’s father rented a haunted house? There must be a logical explanation, and Maisie plans to use her detecting skills to find out what it is!
