About this listen
Miss Cassidy is no ordinary governess.
She can tutor the most wayward child, tell stories in several languages and fix any household crisis. But she also has the power to deal with problems of a far more dark and dangerous kind.
Arriving in 1890s Singapore, this formidable Scotswoman soon finds herself (among other duties) ridding a house of a bloodthirsty demon and raising a spirit from the dead.
When she is hired by the wealthy Chinese widower Mr Kay, whose family are suffering from a terrible curse, she must battle forces far more ancient and powerful than any she has encountered before – not to mention dealing with the unexpected yearnings of her heart …

'What a delight – I haven't enjoyed an adventure this much in years. Great fun, completely immersive and bursting with characters who leap off the page. A debut as impressive as Miss Cassidy herself!' (Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling co-author of the Aurora Cycle)
'Formidable indeed! An effortlessly readable novel, with a stunning blend of history, myth and magic from Singapore and beyond.' (Ng Yi-Sheng, multi-award-winning author of Lion City)
'At the centre of the magic, mystery and mischief, Miss Cassidy delights a ghostbusting Mary Poppins with the proprieties, deportment, wicked sense of humour and fearlessness shown towards supernatural encounters and chicken-killing alike.' (Nuraliah Norasid, award-winning author of The Gatekeeper)
