About this deal
There are a couple side stories involved that are seemingly unrelated, but the author ties it all together. After opening a trapdoor in the kitchen to reveal a secret staircase leading down into the cellar, Tracey is stabbed through the stomach by the Farmer. It left me wanting more, so I immediately dove into other books by the same author to experience more of their thrilling storytelling.

If anything, the neanderthal incest babies the midwife walks in the woods at midnight makes more sense than any decision anyone in this makes. I was renting my own cottage when I listened to bits of this and wanted a more thrilling book but it didn't work for me. Third book in a row I've read with a massively silly storyline, relying heavily on the stupidity of it's characters with easy to see 'twists'. I absolutely loved how the story came together, I loved the chills it gave me, especially reading it in the dark! David and Peter realize that not only have they been deceived, but Arnie knew about Andrew's involvement in the scheme all along.I expected this story to be about Jan and the mystery about an isolated cottage at the edge of a wood. That being said, it definitely is creepy and the author does a great job of creating a haunting atmosphere. If anyone else has read Cathy Glass books (same author ) it is written in an “explanation “ within the observations…. The author's ability to create tension and a sense of unease throughout the story was what I found most captivating. I figured out the primary plot twist almost immediately, and though there were a couple other surprises, I still found the book to be predictable, as well as unrealistic.
