4-6Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins series.
Illustrated by
Marion Lindsay.
In book three, Maisie's friend Alice invites her to a beautiful country manor--which happens to be filled with a ghostly cat, a miasma in the library, and a terrible wailing. Twelve-year-old Maisie is determined to solve this mystery, even if all the servants have fled and she has to do the washing up herself. Spindly line drawings reinforce our Victorian heroine's plucky personality.
