Mercy Willow investigates haunted houses, churches, and estates across England. Amy Cross introduced her in The Haunting of Hurst House in 2022, and across thirteen books Mercy visits one haunted location after another, confronting ghosts and uncovering the dark histories that created them.
Each book sends Mercy to a new place, from Gower Grange to Torfork Tower to Payne Priory, where she must piece together what happened and deal with whatever supernatural presence remains. The investigations follow a pattern, but each location has its own story, its own ghosts, and its own dangers.
The series builds toward a conclusion that puts Mercy herself at the center of the story. The Death of Mercy Willow shifts the focus from the hauntings to the investigator, and The End of Mercy Willow closes out the series with finality. Cross gives Mercy a complete arc, from her first investigation through her last.
