Shiela Crerar, Psychic Detective

Written by Ella M. Scrymsour

Narrated by Naomi Rose-Mock

“Lady of gentle birth, Scottish, young, penniless, possessing strong psychic powers, will devote her services to the solving of uncanny mysteries or the 'laying of ghosts.’” Left destitute by her uncle's death and with no other employment opportunities, Shiela Crerar runs an ad in a London newspaper offering her unusual services. Her adventures take her from the streets of 1920s Edinburgh to the romantic Scottish Highlands, where she uses her "sight" and her knowledge of local lore and history to confront ghosts, demons, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures. This volume includes all six Shiela Crerar stories.

Ella M. Scrymsour

Ella M. Scrymsour (1888-1962) was a British actress and writer. Born in London, she was the daughter-in-law of C.A. Scrymsour Nichol, a science-fiction writer who wrote The Mystery of the North Pole (1908), a well-regarded utopian, lost race novel. Not much is known about Scrymsour beyond her authorship of two novels: The Perfect World: A Romance of Strange People and Strange Places (1922); and The Bridge of Distances (1924). The former, thought to be a fixup novel—a combination of two initially standalone stories—has been recognized as a highly imaginative work of science fiction incorporating utopian, lost race, biblical, and apocalyptic motifs and themes.
