About The Book
Can stopping time solve a murder? Journey to a house on a hill and discover the secret of a cursed painting. And Then There Were None meets My Family and Other Animals.
Our story begins with identical twins . . .
Spike and Merry are back on the case – and this time they're in Greece. The cursed Medusa painting is up for auction, but anyone who looks at it directly, will die. When one of the bidders is found dead and the painting's owner goes missing, the twins use their time bending powers to investigate. Is it really a curse, or is someone out for revenge . . . ?
