The wages are great, and accommodation is provided within the walls of an actual mansion. Not many little girls dream of becoming a maid, but this is an opportunity for me to get back on my feet. <strong>And to revisit my past...</strong><br /> But the strict housekeeper, Mrs Huxley, watches my every move, emerging from the shadows when I least expect her. And Lord Howard's son, Alex, takes an interest in me. I'm drawn to him because <strong>I know he's bad for me</strong>. There's a general atmosphere of unease at Highwood Hall, from the narrow tunnels laced throughout the sprawling house, to the abandoned north wing, rumoured to be haunted.<br /> No one outside the hall knows where I work and yet a gift box arrives. One tug of the pretty ribbon unveils a miniature doll version of me trapped inside a dollhouse. In this scene I'm dead, <strong>lying in a pool of red paint at the bottom of the perfectly recreated staircase</strong>.<br /> Someone sent this threatening package to me, but who?<br /> <strong>And what do they want?</strong><br /> All I know is that nothing is what it seems here.
