When an uncle leaves his old Maine house to the Ward family, Anne and her brother Stephen find they have walked straight into a mystery. The puzzle has its roots in the disappearance of a beautiful girl long in the past. When a valuable portrait is taken from their house and they hear strange howlings in the night, Anne -- who has never been able to keep up with her brother -- proves her own ingenuity in helping to find the solution to the mystery.

In this case, Anne never seems to be able to make friends or be as popular as her outgoing older brother, Stevie. When their father inherits an old farmhouse, the children are first excited and then dismayed when they discover how the neighbors detested their deceased distant relative. Their dislike seems to have passed down onto Anne's family and her parents quickly plan to sell the house. But first, there are a series of mysteries to solve - a missing painting, mysterious howling, and the strange behavior of the girl next door.
Verdict: Plenty of shivers up the spine, although nothing too scary for a younger reader, and a tidy conclusion to the narrative, with a brisk moral for Anne's social difficulties. Not my favorite of the Scholastic mysteries, but a decent read.
