18-year-old May has been wondering about her parents all her life. Orphaned at the tender age of nine, her only memories of them are the two photographs that she has of them. Having been told that they had passed away in a terrible boating accident in Brighton, May had always avoided boating in general.

One day, May is told a secret that will forever change her life. Seven words that made her world turn upside-down.

"Your parents didn't die in an accident."

Determined to find out the identity of the man who told her this, discover what really happened to her parents, and if they even did die, May goes on an adventure that taught her things, both good and bad, and finally shed some light on the truth.

Did May's parents really die? Or did something even worse happen?

59 parts Complete

This story will become free again on 3 March 2025. It will be removed from Wattpad at some point in the not too distant future. Jessica "Ike" Wordsworth can dive into books, but she isn't prepared for a monster - and a ruthless murderer killing her tourists. Ike is fighting the aftermath of a nasty divorce that left her husband in custody of her homesitting business - and her beloved cats. With nothing but a turquoise construction trailer to call her home, Ike invests her last quid and becomes partner in a tour company specialising in bespoke trips for book-lovers. When the guide hired to take on the first tour drops out at the last minute, Ike has to take over and steer her guests towards the cradle of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". All to soon she realises there truly are monsters on the loose, one of them a ruthless killer who's targetting her tourists. To unearth the truth, Ike will have to cooperate with her moronic partner, Gary Sands, 13th Baron of Nettlehole and founder of LiteraTours. When they don't succeed in stopping the killer, she realises she'll have to take the plunge and draw on some rather unusual skills her family has been hiding from the world . . . "Frankenstein's Guide" is the first instalment in the "LiteraTours Cozy Mystery series". [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ren T
