A few minor quibbles stopped it from being a full five stars for me. Peter and Elspeth are said to have been close right into their teens, he still lives in his parents' old house a short walk from Elspeth's mum in the village, yet Elspeth didn't seem to have heard that he'd joined the police. I also felt like the Wychwood could have been made more of as a location, it felt more like a backdrop for the most part. However, that's me being picky and I'm looking forward to further instalments. A journalist partnered with a detective has plenty of scope for future investigations, and it will be interesting to see how much is made of the supernatural thread.
If you're in the mood for another thriller with elements of the supernatural you could try American detective novel [[Whisper in the Dark by Robert Gregory Browne]] or if you want something with a literary angle, the fabulous Spanish novel [[The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon]]. We think you'll also enjoy [[The Osiris Ritual: A Newbury and Hobbes Investigation by George Mann]].
