Ella Scrymsour is the author of Shiela Crerar, Psychic Investigator.
Shiela Crerar, Psychic Investigator,throughout the series, Shiela Crerar is loved and admired by Stavordale Hartland, the nephew of Lady Kildrummie, to whose aid Shiela is called in the opening story, “The Eyes of Doom”. Hartland is often in Shiela’s thoughts, and is occasionally summoned to assist in her investigations; but although Hartland has marriage in mind, Shiela firmly tells him, “I have set myself a task, and I must complete it.” Whether she does, in fact, complete it, and whether Hartland is successful in his quest, will be revealed to the reader by the end of the final story, “The Wraith of Fergus McGinty”. Before that, however, Shiela tackles such cases as “The Death Vapour”, “The Room of Fear”, “The Phantom Isle”, and “The Werewolf of Rannoch”, and establishes herself as one of the psychic detectives about whom one wishes more had been written.
