''Secrets in Prior's Ford'' is the first in a new series of books from Eve Houston and features a fictional village not far from Kirkcudbright in the Scottish Borders. You can tell that it's Scotland because the children pull faces if their porridge hasn't been salted - unlike their southern counterparts who require golden syrup. If you enjoyed Rebecca Shaw's stories of [[Turnham Malpas]] or Gervase Phinn on the [[The Heart of the Dales|Yorkshire Dales]] then you'll feel quite at home in Prior's Ford.
