Les enquêtes d’Emily Evans – Tome 1

Description

London, 1909. Emily is 12 years old and dreams of becoming an anthropologist. She lives with her aunts, Sylvia and Dorothy. One day, they attend a séance at the home of the famous clairvoyant, Madame Vichani, during which a ghost appears to them: shock! It seems to be Ida, Aunt Dorothy’s missing daughter. The same day, a young orphan girl arrives at the family home, applying to become a servant. Around her neck hangs the locket of Ida, the missing heiress. Very quickly, the young girl is welcomed into the family, but certain elements of her story lead Emily to doubt Ida’s true identity. Is it the unexpected return of the child thought lost forever, or is it a deception organised to get her hands on the Thurston inheritance? An investigation led at full speed by Emily, who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth!
