Description
Can stopping time solve a murder . . . ? A delicious mystery adventure for fans of Robin Stevens and Cressida Cowell from the award-winning and bestselling author of the Pinch of Magic series.
When the Morrow twins, Merry and Spike, arrive at dusty old Fox House, they think spending their holidays there is going to be dull. But they soon discover that there are secrets to the old house. A missing woman, a baby left on the doorstep, a locked study . . . As the mysteries pile up, the girls begin to investigate, using their own secret to help them: they can stop time!
What happened in this old house? And can their strange powers help them solve a decades-old crime?

About the Author
Michelle Harrison lives in Essex and has a son, Jack, and three cats: Marmite, Sorsha and Widdershins. Her first novel, The Thirteen Treasures, won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and was followed by The Thirteen Curses and The Thirteen Secrets. Michelle has since written One Wish, a prequel to The Thirteen Treasures books; The Other Alice, which won the Calderdale Book of the Year Award; and the bestselling Pinch of Magic Adventures: A Pinch of Magic, A Sprinkle of Sorcery, A Tangle of Spells, and A Storm of Sisters. Natalie Smillie grew up in Devon, England, and was not quite born with a pencil in her hand but pretty close! She's done lots of things with her life so far including joining the Royal Air Force, moving to Scotland, and going back to college at twenty-seven. Natalie currently lives in northern Ireland with her husband, dog (Maggie), and an aloe vera plant named Kingston. She's obsessed with toffee, tea, and carrot cake, and if she could be an item of clothing she would be a cardigan.
