Every clock in Ashgrove Mansion tells a different time. In The Mansion’s Missing Hours, Book 6 of the Heritage Hollow Adventures series by Margaret “Maggie” Fenwick, the hall clocks disagree, the windows on the hill glow at strange hours, and all over town folks whisper that the old mansion is losing whole hours in the night.
What the story is about
Raccoon detectives Slick and Muffin don’t believe in haunted houses. They believe in careful notes. With help from Mrs. Ashgrove, her clock-loving great-grandson Theo and Mr. Higgins the groundskeeper, they count, chart and calculate their way to the truth, one tick at a time. No villains. Just evidence, patience and an answer hiding in plain sight.
