This is
the third in the Bogey Man Mysteries (and my personal favorite), featuring Chris and Pamela Cross, along
with their son Mikey and two Yellow Labs, Sherlock and Watson.
Marguerite Turnbal was a bestselling gothic mystery writer in the 1950s. A little on the eccentric side, she had her home renovated, adding secret compartments. In her later years she told her twin daughters, Coral and Carol, that there was a treasure to be found, and she gave them only one clue to its whereabouts.
Over twenty years
after Marguerite’s death a young woman is murdered in the old empty house.
Chris Cross’s parents have come for a visit. His mother, Judith, and his son,
Mikey, want to solve their own mystery in true Cross family tradition. Judith,
also a little eccentric, breaks into the house after seeing strange lights and
finds the body – not quite the mystery she was hoping to find. The Bogey Man
and his family are soon gumshoeing their way through life again, looking for a
murderer and hidden treasure.

ReplyDeleteMarja,
DeleteThank you for agreeing to be my guest. I think I've mentioned this before :) but I absolutely love your books. "They Call Me Ace" and "Mysteries of Holt House" will be going on my "Best Of" list on Shelfari!
Gothic mystery writer, a house with secret compartments--I'm hooked immediately!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tricia! Interestingly, the other book has secret passages. Guess I got stuck. :)
