_________
When Elspeth arrives on a remote Scottish island to become nanny to a young child, she hopes to bond with her. Until she learns that, for reasons no one will explain, Mary has not spoken for months.
And the girl's silence is not the only mystery.
Hypnotic lullabies drift down empty corridors.
Strange dolls appear in abandoned rooms.
And as the nights draw in, darker questions arise . . .
What happened to Mary's late twin, William? Why did their previous nanny disappear so suddenly?
And is the whistling Elspeth hears at night just the storm outside?
Or is somebody coming for her . . . ?

Gripping modern Gothic
Rebecca Netley presents a modern gothic novel set in the 1800s on a scottish island. Dark, gripping, brimming with atmosphere and mystery, this story serves everything one could want from a classic gothic tale. The main protagonist, Elspeth, starts a new life in Iskar, the impressive, but somewhat dilapidated mansion on the scottish island of Skelthsea, to serve as a nanny for Mary, a young girl who hasn't spoken since her twin brother William died. Elspeth tries to help Mary and forget her own tragic past, but living in an eerie environment with no personal connections, whilst being surrounded by rumours of murder and witchcraft, is anything but an easy task. Elspeth is set on solving the mysteries of Iskar and the Island, but when she hears the whistling, things get darker and darker and soon not only her sanitiy is at risk, but also her life....
