'There's something funny about Witherleigh, it's just that nobody else has noticed it yet. Richard Radcliffe has discovered strange goings-on in the sleepy moorland village, missing curates, a collection of peculiar locals and now he's been warned to get out by one of the few people who appear to be normal. Richard has his own problems; even so, he sets out to try and solve the mystery of exactly what is going on in Witherleigh. What he discovers is that evil can live on and pass down the generations, until someone arrives who can stand up and be counted. I'm not a huge fan of horror, or at least I thought that I wasn't. P. J. Reed's book hits the spot for me, with plenty of grisly details about the state of life (and death) past and present, in the village. This is a fast-paced story, I read it quickly; frantically turning the pages, caught up in the haste to find out what happened next. The conclusion is satisfying but set up nicely for a sequel, ' RD 'Fantastic clever descriptions, readable, engaging, educational .... I won't be stopping in some farmer's caravan from now on. Clever twists in the story and brilliant dark humour, use of certain words conjured up imagery that might make us blush as much as Richard. You've captured Devon perfectly. I loved the hints about various characters habits ... the role of the church in rural communities ... ministering to their flock ... the organic veg box !!! .... and the whole happy chicken thing is topically engaging .... you find a good burger made from happy chickens ... mmm, I'm sure. I can only surmise you've been in some odd situations to be able to write it so fluently...Your work had some wonderful situational humour too. One more thing, the innocence of Richard caught up in situations that to outside observers made him without doubt guilty ! Clever stuff. 'He was in the toilet with his doll cutting himself ' ... how damning is that eh? Really well done.' RS
