HELP FOR THE HAUNTED



Sylvie's parents are called out in the middle of the night by someone needing help.  They take Sylvie with them to the church, leaving her in the car.  They are brutally murdered.  Who called them and who killed them?  And why?  The information is hidden in the deep recesses of Sylvie's mind.  It will take over a year for her to piece together this puzzle.

Meanwhile she is forced to live with her tough older sister, Rose, in the old Tudor house where she was raised.  This house is full of secrets.  Did her parents really help "haunted souls"  as they claimed?  Why was her sister sent away to a special boarding school?  Is the basement haunted and why do they keep a doll locked in a cage?

As Sylvia mulls over the past year, she is forced to ask herself "Do I believe in the paranormal"?  "Do I believe in my parent's teachings?"  Coming to terms with what she believes, is a major step in figuring out the puzzle of her parents' murder and her sister's possible involvement.

This is a very atmospheric novel.  Tudor house, haunted basement, sister with secrets and there is always the doll locked in the cage!
