Millicent Thurlow is an orphan, destined for a lonely life amongst the middle-class folk of rural Lancashire when an impulsive decision to escape from her adoptive family leads her on an adventure, and, ultimately, to the house of the shuttered windows where she becomes embroiled in the dramatic lives of the Ormanby family. Her experiences will lead her to uncover the family's secrets and the discovery of a murderer concealed amongst the mercantile families of Lancashire.
Alice and Claude Askew were the best-selling writing partnership behind many popular novels published during the Edwardian period. Their crime mystery classic Behind Shuttered Windows was first serialised in newspapers between June and December 1909. This edition represents the first time this work has been returned to print in over a century, making the inventive and original mystery writing of the Askews accessible to a modern audience.
