Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime thrillers that blend procedural logic with genuine supernatural elements rather than dismissing them outright.
  • You're drawn to series where characters develop real relationships across books, not just case-of-the-week procedurals.
  • You appreciate atmospheric British settings and slow-burn mysteries that layer connections between seemingly unrelated events.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want fast-paced action and explosions rather than psychological tension and atmospheric dread.
  • You're sceptical of anything paranormal or metaphysical and need strictly rational explanations in your crime fiction.
  • You prefer standalone mysteries over series and don't want to invest in ongoing character arcs.

About this book

A teenage boy's body is discovered on a country road at dawn, but vanishes before police arrive, leaving only a blanket behind. Detective Bob Foreman finds no forensic evidence or body at the scene. He is simultaneously investigating a second missing boy last seen on a towpath. Meanwhile, two children display unexplained abilities: five-year-old Harry draws detailed WWII bomber cockpits with precise accuracy, and eight-year-old Christopher writes disturbing warnings in his sleep, repeatedly mentioning a place called the Eleventh House. When the investigation stalls, Foreman consults Ellie McEwan, a healer who can read auras—the colored energy that reveals a person's true nature. As Ellie and her team investigate, they uncover connections between the vanished body, the gifted children, and an isolated mansion hidden in the Surrey woods known as the Eleventh House. This third book in the Ellie McEwan series combines police procedural with supernatural mystery, following the investigation as it deepens into increasingly complex and dangerous territory.
