What is Red Velvet about?
As soon as she walks into the old Tudor mansion, Elly senses that something is wrong, that the house itself is hostile towards her. But why should it hate her when she's never been there before? Then strange things start happening to her - she hears ghostly singing, sees people in the woods dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and hears threatening voices in the house. And then she learns that the skeleton of a girl, dressed in red velvet, was found in an old chest in one of the bedrooms. She decides to try to solve the ancient mystery, but in digging up the distant past she uncovers secrets about her own family history which will have a lasting effect on her whole future. Carol Hedges is an A level tutor, and in her spare time works as a dinner lady at her local primary school. Red Velvet is her second novel for OUP.
