The Widow at Number Nine: An Arabella Grey Mystery

By Mandy Ludick

A locked door. A dead maid. A house full of secrets.

Spring, 1903. When Arabella Grey arrives at a seaside boarding house in Eastbourne, she expects peace, sea air, and a quiet escape. What she finds instead is a house steeped in silence and whispers of a dead husband who never really left.

The eccentric widow who owns the house speaks of strange noises, missing objects, and unexplainable accidents. But when a young maid is found dead behind a locked door, Arabella knows she's not chasing ghosts... she's chasing a killer.

As hidden tunnels, stolen ledgers, and shadowy visitors come to light, Arabella must uncover the truth about the widow's past, and the dangerous secrets buried beneath Number Nine.

A classic locked-room mystery set in Edwardian England, rich with atmosphere, wit, and a heroine who sees what others miss.
Perfect for fans of T.E. Kinsey, Sarah Waters, and Agatha Christie.
