Crow's Haunt Rachel Wade

In the heart of Victorian York there is a shop like no other.




Mrs Holden may be widowed, childless and infirm, but her unexpected venture quickly becomes the talk of the town. With the help of Tobias Michael, his daughter Irene, and a beady-eyed crow, Mrs Holden slowly begins to rebuild her life after decades of heartbreak and solitude - until the unimaginable happens.




The shop is robbed of every single article. Frightened and alone, Mrs Holden has been left with nothing but the clothes on her back and a mysterious hidden letter opener - but it is just the beginning. Vowing vengeance, Mr Michael goes in search of the culprit and finds an identical shop with an oddly familiar face at its helm.




An intriguing murder mystery filled with compelling characters and vivid historic detail, Crow's Haunt explores one woman's struggle with her unspoken grief and one man's determination to bring peace to the lives of those he loves.
