Science and superstition collide when a plague of rats coincides with the anniversary of a witch’s execution and the arrival of a colourful stranger.
It’s summer, 19— and sleepy Hawkinge-By-Hythe (seven time winner of Great Britain’s Most Superstitious Town) is suddenly overrun by a plague of rats. The townsfolk immediately assume the worst: the terrifying Dame Holte is rising from her grave to exact revenge!
That’s where Gertrude, Victoria and Colette Alumière come in. The three ladies run the local chemist shop by day and indulge their interest in the inexplicable by night. They don’t believe in the supernatural, but they love a good mystery.
But when identical triplets, with a penchant for dressing in black, get mixed up in the otherworldly, well.
What’s a superstitious local supposed to think?
Scientists? Yes. Sisters? Probably. Witches? Oh, no…
