Your Secret Friend

Alison Marchmont Pallis never could have foreseen that her purchase of a large stone farmhouse would lead to murder. The headstrong mistress at a girls' school had intended on a change of pace when she bought the house - Little Monkshood - with fellow teacher April Bounty. April's one good suggestion was to call on her cousin Timothy Herring to help restore the old home. But April's help ended there, and soon Alison was left with both a hefty mortgage...and a curse. Unbeknownst to Alison, an ambitious student-turned-witch has put a spell on the farmhouse. What initially seems like a child's prank quickly takes a deadly turn, and neither Alison nor amateur detective Timothy could guess the fate that awaits them.

New and lifelong fans of Gladys Mitchell/Malcolm Torrie will be captivated by this offbeat mystical mystery in the Timothy Herring series.
