A thrilling and ghostly mystery from the author of 'The Animals of Farthing Wood'.

There had been rumours for years about the wealth of old Mr Mackie. But when ben and Richard start snooping around the dead man's house, they're soon plunged into a web of terror. Whose dark face is at the window? Where are the strange footsteps coming from? And what is the secret of the blue ring wrapped in a blanket?

Pursued by a villainous tramp, and haunted by ghastly visions, the two boys find themselves on a daring journey through darkest Wales, and into the unearthly territory of the ancient spirits.

Praise for A Legacy Of Ghosts

Got me out of a reading slump! Dark glee, tragedy . . . fans of my story The Corset will gobble this up

Laura Purcell

Dark, twisted and dangerously addictive

Sam Lloyd

A brutal and compelling tale that starts as a revenge story but quickly becomes so much more. Clever, shocking and horrific in places, it's the sort of book for which the phrase 'page-turner' was invented.

Lucie McKnight Hardy

Come for the fabulous premise, stay for the razor-sharp portrait of a marvelously complex (and often totally terrifying) mind. I was a big fan of You Let Me In, but Camilla Bruce has absolutely outdone herself with Bella Sorensen and Triflers Need Not Apply.

Laird Hunt

Deliciously dark, wickedly observed with a protagonist who will haunt you in the best way. Utterly gripping, chillingly compelling - you won't read another story quite like Bella's.

Miranda Dickinson

Loved this fascinating tale of how a woman's pain turns to rage and then murder. Based on the real life adventures of serial killer Belle Gunness, this book is a dark, thrilling ride into a world of revenge. Oh so satisfying.

Julie Owen Moylan

Triflers Need Not Apply is a perfect read for any crime fiction fan. A chilling immersion into the mind of a serial killer - dark, seductive and addictive. A truly gripping read.

Lia Middleton

Based on a true story, with dark humour throughout, you will be hooked

Prima

Extraordinary. Bruce does a marvellous job of reimagining this real-life murderer, without excusing her crimes

The Times

This gory fictionalisation of her story is also a great character study

Best

Explosive . . . If you like true crime, you'll devour this chilling story of revenge

Woman's Weekly

Explosive . . . If you like true crime, you'll devour this chilling story of revenge

Woman

Clever and pacy . . . To think of [Bella] only as a cruel murderer is too two-dimensional and doesn't do her, or Camilla's writing, justice

Belfast Telegraph

Chilling. Camilla Bruce's adept reimagining of this compelling historical figure is difficult to forget

Gazette and Herald

You'll veer between pity and loathing for the main character, with perhaps a touch of horrified admiration at times
