The Witch House

The absorbing new Detectives Lennox and Stewart novel, from the award-winning author of The Wolf Tree

'We've always made deals with the Devil in order to keep the real threats at bay.'

On the banks of a picturesque loch in the heart of Scotland, a famous family resides in a historic mansion. But when a man is found dead by the water, a bloody wound to his head, DIs Georgina Lennox and Richard Stewart are sent to investigate - and the entire Scottish press is on their heels.

The Montgomerys are celebrated actors and filmmakers, but their fame turned to infamy years ago when twelve-year-old Vivien Montgomery killed her mother. Even more shocking, she claimed the real murderer was a witch who haunted the halls. But with Vivien still behind bars, the public now wonders - could her story be true?

As George and Richie question Scotland's rich and famous, they discover twisted secrets, relentless stalkers, and whispers of a restless spirit who is set on fiery revenge.
