Description
Lucy Watson was just an ordinary girl. Or was she…?
She had lived in the same ordinary house on the same ordinary street with her mother for most of her life.
But then she met him.
And suddenly, she vanished.
Though not without a trace.
Leaving letters and messages, hints that she was all right, Lucy’s life remained a mystery to those closest to her.
But it wasn’t long before the messages stopped and she disappeared completely…
After three years of no contact, Inspector Henry Beaumont makes it his personal mission to find her.
In a house on the edge of a tract of ancient woodland, close to the village of Nine Maidens, he becomes involved with a mysterious family.
However, Inspector Beaumont soon realises that this is far more than a simple missing persons case.
Secrets begin to surface and he soon discovers an age-old earth magic that could hold the answer to Lucy’s disappearance.
By The North Door is a thrilling read that will keep you guessing with each page turn.
Meg Elizabeth Atkins has won many plaudits for her fiction on both sides of the Atlantic, and reviewers have compared her to Elizabeth Bowen and Barbara Pym for the elegance of her writing. In several of her earlier novels, such as Samain, Palimpsest and Tangle, she has explored the disturbing undercurrents beneath the polite surface of English middle-class life, and in Cruel as the Grave forces erupt through the repression and containment of daily existence with violent consequences.
Meg Elizabeth Atkins lives with her husband in a North Yorkshire village. She teaches creative writing and also writes non-fiction books such as Haunted Warwickshire.
