House of Thieves is the latest novel from author Rachel Walkley.

She has no form. She has no voice. But she’s always watching.

As chief conservator at historical Terrington Hall, Amy has one mission: to restore the vast, guilt-stained hoard of the Hurly family. When a family heirloom vanishes, Amy realises there is a thief in the house.

She hires security advisor Harrison, a man whose professional polish masks a volatile connection to the Hurly bloodline. He isn’t just there for the security. He seeks to reveal the truth behind a long-forgotten family scandal.

But there is a shadow at Terrington Hall that follows the living with a tireless, invisible gaze, a consciousness woven into the very mortar and timber, trapping memories with a history too heavy to escape.

In a place where objects are treasured and people are forgotten, Harrison discovers a room that has been sealed for decades. Will a simple theft lead to the resurrection of the family’s murderous secrets?

At Terrington Hall, the dead don’t need a body to tell a story — they just need someone to listen.


Two mysteries. Two centuries. One house.

House of Thieves ticks every box if you love historical fiction and a slight twist of paranormal. It’s an intriguing tale, well, three tales really that all interlink. The characters are likeable and easy to connect with; I just loved how unusual but intriguing the story was. And how it was told from the past and present day, with the different characters weaving the story together.

If you enjoy historical fiction and a good mystery, then you can’t go wrong with this.
