A Turnham Malpas Novel: 2
The village of Turnham Malpas is bedevilled by talk. In the Royal
Oak, the usual banter has turned to bitter wrangling as Caroline causes
controversy over an ancient country tradition. And what about Peter,
her husband and the rector of the village? Are the rumours about him
and pushy newcomer Venetia true? Even the older inhabitants are not
exempt from gossip, as the Baxter sisters' eccentric lifestyle is
the subject of cruel speculation. And what is the evil lurking behind
village windows that almost costs a child her life?
Peter must put aside his own problems and use all his influence to
try and unite the village - until he finds it is the very things the
gossips miss which look set to bring about superstition, madness and
tragedy.
