Praise for Jamie Costello and THE MIDNIGHT CLOCK
'Unexpectedly funny as well as tense' Sunday Times
'A marvellously exciting - and thought-provoking - time-travelling murder mystery. Smart, funny, moving, atmospheric' Simon Mason
'This book is equal parts tension, explosive drama, and heart. I loved it' Ben Oliver
Summer 2025.
Amy and her mother, Claire, arrive in the village of Hinxford Magna, where Claire's family lived happily until her sister vanished without trace.
The family cottage is now Claire and Amy's only chance for a new start. But the tranquil village sits in the shadow of Hinxford Court, a long-abandoned manor house whose history is steeped in tragedy. And when Amy sees a young man through a window there, he seems to vanish without trace . . . almost like a ghost.
Summer 1985.
Eighteen-year-old Louise is working at the local pub when a young man passes her a note: he claims he is being held captive at Hinxford Court. She feels she must try and help him, but what will she risk if she does?
Strange things start happening in Amy's life. The past seems to be catching up with the present in frightening ways, but Amy knows she is close to uncovering the secrets of Hinxford Court once and for all . . .
