- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Twin’s Will and Lucy’s dad has mysteriously disappeared. While they search for clues they uncover a diary behind a loose brick in the chimney of their old Edinburgh house. It was written by their ancestors in 1796, another set of twins called William and Louisa, whose own father had to leave his family to seek sanctuary from debtors prison in Holyrood Abbey. The diary takes Will and Lucy on a journey through the past, providing clues such as the sign of the black dagger. They need to uncover family secrets that still affect the family, which will hopefully lead to their father.This story jumps disconcertingly between the past and the present which I felt interrupted the story’s flow. I enjoyed the historical detail.
