How far would you go to right a wrong? ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is a spooky adventure story for younger readers involving a two-century-old family mystery and the haunting of Dunmore Park, a ruined house in central Scotland.

Dunmore is a model village developed from the mid-1800s for employees of the estate. The novel’s young characters live close to the village and use it as a base for their exploration of the area.

Dunmore. The image shows a village green with an ornate drinking fountain with columns supporting its substantial roof to the right centre of the frame. There’s a park bench to its left, facing left, and flowers across the foot of the frame. A row of cottages stretches across the frame beyond a narrow road which is itself beyond the green. The sky is blue. The front cover of ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

How many deaths to end a war? ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is a fast-paced thriller set mainly in northern Scotland during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

This modern image shows Berriedale, on the east coast of Caithness, close to where the Berriedale Water flows into the sea. This is where Bob Sutherland’s search for answers reaches its dramatic conclusion.

This image shows a view along a river. On the near, left, bank is a quay with a small motorboat under a crane and a row of white cottages beyond it on the side of a slope that climbs a hillside. A pedestrian suspension bridge crosses to the far bank of the river on the right of the frame where there are more cottages with a hillside above them and a stony beach beneath them. The river narrows as it reaches the centre of the frame in a wooded valley. The front cover of ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is shown in the top right corner.
