Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Florence escapes a grim orphanage for a fresh start at Crutchfield Hall. But her hopes are dashed by the ghost of her cousin Sophia, who haunts the manor with a sinister scheme. As Sophia's deadly intentions unfold, Florence must warn her new family and thwart the ghost's murderous plot. Can she uncover the truth and save them all before it's too late?

From the publisher

When twelve-year-old Florence boards the crowded horse-drawn coach in London, she looks forward to a new life with her great uncle and aunt at Crutchfield Hall, an old manor house in the English countryside. Anything will be better, she thinks, than the grim London orphanage where she has lived since her parents’ death. But Florence doesn’t expect the ghost of her cousin Sophia, who haunts the cavernous rooms and dimly lit hallways of Crutchfield and concocts a plan to use Florence to help her achieve her murderous goals. Will Florence be able to convince the others in the household of the imminent danger and stop Sophia before it’s too late?
