What is Amateur Detective Myrtle Hardcastle to do when her beloved
governess inherits an estate on a Scottish island? Why, find a haunted
brooch, break an ancient curse, and catch a murderer, of course!
When her governess inherits an estate on a Scottish island, amateur
detective Myrtle Hardcastle couldn't be more excited. Unfortunately, the
ancestral castle is both run-down and haunted. Ghostly moans echo in
the walls, and there are rumors of a cursed treasure lost on the
island--an ancient silver brooch that may have cost the former lord his
life. But who had the motive, means, and opportunity to kill him? And
could this Scottish trip mean the end of Myrtle's plans to get her
father and governess together?
Then Myrtle's investigation stirs a villain out of hiding. The estate's
boat is stolen, so there's no escape from the island. Myrtle is forced
to play a deadly game, hunting for the brooch with a thief breathing
down her neck--someone who will stop at nothing to get the treasure,
even if it means murder.
