Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Seymour Hope inherits a castle in Loch Ness, but his father, Iggy, refuses to visit due to its connection to his pun-loving uncle. As Seymour and his mother, Olive, journey to Scotland, each harbors a secret. What mysteries await in the castle's shadowy halls, and how will these secrets unravel their summer plans? Dive into a tale of hidden truths and family ties in this thrilling conclusion to the 43 Old Cemetery Road series.

From the publisher

In the seventh and final installment of the popular 43 Old Cemetery Road series, twelve-year-old Seymour Hope has inherited a castle in Loch Ness, Scotland. It could be the perfect summer vacation spot for Seymour and his parents, Olive C. Spence and Ignatius B. Grumply. But Iggy wants nothing to do with the castle. Why? Because it was owned by his uncle Ian, a world-famous psychiatrist and the world’s worst punster. So Iggy stays home to write, and Seymour and Olive set off for Scotland–each with a secret.
