Scooby Do for adults, a gripping, twisty Christmas murder mystery set during a haunted house tour. This locked-room mystery is perfect for fans of Tom Hindle, Agatha Christie and Anthony Horowitz. A grand country estate. On her last day as a Detective, Midge McGowan is given the retirement present from hell- a ticket to take part in a haunted house tour. She'll have to spend the weekend before Christmas ghost-hunting in an isolated mansion with a group of misfits, including a know-it-all paranormal investigator and a has-been pop star. An impossible crime. It isn't long before the tour starts to spiral out of control. Midge and the guests see an unsettling figure walking the grounds late at night. Then the unthinkable happens - someone is murdered in a room that's been locked from the inside. A Christmas they might not survive. Heavy snow cuts them off from help, the house's own dark secrets begin to surface, and Midge can't shake the creeping sense that they are walking into a nightmare. Could a ghost really be responsible, or is the culprit one of the guests
