What a book. This action-packed, supernatural thriller will have you on the edge of your seat. The tension builds with each passing chapter and the ending is so much fun. There is a ghost, a curse, an evil property developer and a drowning village.

This is the second book in a series but it stands alone with characters from the first book and the odd reference, but an independent storyline. This adventure has Lorne Turner trying to survive a flooded valley in Scob on Exmoor and its centuries-old curse. This time he is with Heather throughout the book and she turns into the perfect side-kick. Smartmouth, devoted to Lorne and determined to be ‘one of the boys’. Much of the humour in the story comes from their interactions.

Joe Talon has a talent for using everything out there to create a masterful supernatural and occult thrillers. Combining great characters and fast-paced plots with history and nature to weave a tale of murder, mayhem and maybe madness!
