Lissadell House, Sligo, 1914
Lily and her friend Nellie are housemaids at Lissadell House. Working in such a big house keeps the girls busy, but they still find time for fun, and friendship with Maeve, the madcap daughter of the famous Republican, Countess Marcievicz.
So when strange things start to happen at Lissadell – odd noises, food going missing and rumours of a ghost – Sherlock Holmes-fan Maeve is determined to lead an investigation.
Between them can the three girls solve the mystery of the Lissadell ghost?
Friendship, history and mystery in early 20th century Ireland.
