Great cheesy fun but let down by the ending. I would have loved for this to be a series

Not off to the best of starts since I found trouble focusing on it for the first 40 pages or so. But once I got used to the writing style (nothing too experimental, just a little outdated - for obvious reasons), I found this to be perfectly pleasant and enjoyable. I appreciated the thought and occult / mythological knowledge that has gone into the novel to create a plot and a mystery that could easily satisfy modern audiences, too.

Superb occult detective novel - also a novel of Sussex deeply resonant of its places and lore.
