The House in the Woods | Sarah

About the Book

Sarah leaves the orphanage where she grew up after losing all her family in a fatal car accident when she was a baby. She travels to her first job and the location where she is to work as a secretary is a mysterious dark and gloomy house in the middle of a wood.

None of the local population will go near it because they believe it is haunted. Sarah too is frightened but she doesn’t believe in ghosts, so she takes control of herself and marches bravely up to the front door and knocks loudly. Eventually, the door is opened by a strange man, tall and with stooped shoulders, who never speaks but ushers her in and upstairs to where she meets her employer, Mr Tod.

How Sarah uncovers the mysteries of the dark house is gradually revealed.
