The Case of the Phantom Cat: The Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins Book 3

"[A] young Nancy Drew adventure by way of Downton Abbey." —Publishers Weekly review of The Case of the Stolen Sixpence
 
In book three of Holly Webb's The Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins, twelve-year-old Maisie and her dog Eddie are invited to join Maisie's friend Alice on a trip to the country. It's lovely to get away from the London smog, but there is something strange about the manor where the girls are staying. Odd noises, horrid smells, and sightings of a spectral cat keep them up at night. Has Alice's father rented a haunted house? There must be a logical explanation, and Maisie plans to use her detecting skills to find out what it is!

"Maisie's determination and systematic methods help her to uncover realistic explanations for each of the spectral phenomena, and readers will enjoy sorting through the legitimate clues and red herrings."  —Booklist
