Betty Ren Wright wrote children's mysteries and ghost stories in which ordinary homes, family tensions and supernatural clues overlap. The Dollhouse Murders follows Amy as an old dollhouse begins re-enacting an unsolved family murder, turning a miniature domestic setting into the key to a real crime. Christina's Ghost sends a ten-year-old girl to stay in an isolated Victorian house where she sees the apparition of a boy and hears unexplained noises from the attic. Other titles include The Ghosts of Mercy Manor and A Ghost in the House. Wright's books are short, suspenseful and aimed at middle-grade readers, frightening without becoming graphic. They fit children's ghost stories, haunted-house mysteries and accessible supernatural fiction, particularly for readers moving from school-age mysteries towards horror. Read more Less
