The Blackwood Girl
(2026)(The second book in the Savage and Cook Mystery series)
A novel by Jane Holland
Book Two in the Savage and Cook Mystery series: psychic Ophelia Savage and ex-soldier Charles Cook, private detectives investigating strange and unnatural phenomena in Victorian London...
When Captain Cook and the Savage sisters are invited to stay on a pleasure island in the Thames along with a handsome music hall star, it's too good to be true. Because the secret price of admission is to investigate the derangement of their host's sixteen-year-old daughter.
But is Theodora Blackwood mad? Or is this simply a haunting or ghostly possession? And who is behind the sudden, unexplained deaths of several others on the island?
When they become cut off from the mainland by stormy weather, Cook and Ophelia Savage begin to realise there may be deadly forces at play on the island. But is it too late to save themselves - and the Blackwood girl?
