Description
This is the second in Wilkie Martin's humorous mystery series unhuman. Set in the Cotswolds, this instalment in the adventures of Inspector Hobbes, Mrs Goodfellow and Dregs is narrated by the ever disaster-prone Andy Caplet. It can be read as a stand-alone novel and will appeal to anyone with a quirky sense of humour. It is suitable for a wide readership from teenage upwards.
It is a rip roaring, funny and moving tale of Andy's infatuation with a dangerously beautiful woman, starting off during investigations into sheep deaths and the mysterious disappearance of pheasants. These incidents appear to be connected to a rash of big cat sightings, and something horrible seems to be lurking in the woods.
Is Andy cursed to be always unsuccessful in love, or is the curse something much darker, something that will arouse his primeval terrors?
'Love may be on the horizon but, beware, something wicked this way comes.'
