The Haunting of the Belle Tote Lighthouse

Can a mystery writer solve a mystery?Seventy-year-old Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has not written anything about his most famous fictitious detective in a long time and he’s very happy about it “thank you very much.” He was never a fan of Sherlock Holmes, feeling that Holmes overshadowed his greater work. But when a young boy by the name of Joey Belle comes knocking at Doyle's door asking for the fictitious detective to help solve a crime, Doyle can not turn the boy down. Pretending to be a detective, Doyle is whisked away to the Sussex Downs, the wide, rolling hills at cliff’s edge. It is there where the old Belle Tote Lighthouse now-turned bed and breakfast is being treated to the most precarious of occurrences: a haunting. A series of mysterious incidents have been occurring: the sound of footsteps from unoccupied rooms, ghosts, stolen goods, and murder.Together, Doyle and Joey must unravel a secret that if left unsolved, could not only destroy the Belle family but put all of their lives at risk. A classic mix of adventure and wit, this book attempts to blend the dark and humorous mystery writing styles of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Douglas Adams. This young adult mystery novel features legendary writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in a mystery that's very much like one of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mystery books.If you like historical mystery crime novels, you won't be able to put this book down.
