Woodland has managed to create a small rural town, full of tension and menace...
...set in the the 1960's this story has an honesty about it that some may find disturbing. There are layers upon layers to this mystery, corrupt police officers, corrupt council officers, missing and mutilated animals and of course murder.
Woodland has successfully portrayed what life was like in the 60's, when everyone smoked...
...anywhere and everywhere!
He has captured the essence of a time when children were able to roam free, with the only expectation that they be back home in time for their tea. A time when parents didn't 'track' their kids, didn't need to know their every move...a different time indeed.
A gritty, honest story...

Thanks for the kind review Ria, I'm delighted you got the book. And unlike some (lately) took the time to engage with the characters and the place, most of which come from a real part of my childhood as a kid growing up in the New England. Could I prevail upon your kindness to post a rating on goodreads? Either way, thanks for reading and enjoying it. There'll be a sequel out next year.
ReplyDeleteHey Greg, thanks for taking the time to comment....I am beyond excited that you will have a sequel for us! Not sure why the ⭐️thing didn't happen all fixed now.
