How well do you know the woman next door?
When Stina and Jack move to an old rural cottage, they're hoping for a fresh start. Their new home is run-down compared to their neighbour's, but generous Mrs Barley quickly becomes a friend.
Until Stina sees a mysterious figure in the widow's garden, and her happy new life begins to unravel. And when she hears strange noises in the night, she is forced to question if Mrs Barley is what she seems.
The local villagers call Mrs Barley a witch and when Stina sees a man in Mrs Barley's garden who no one else ever sees, this had just the right level of supernatural to keep me interested. Through the book, the suspense grows slowly with well developed characters.
Do not be put off by the slow start to the book, it is an engaging read with a creepy vibe. I found myself wanting to listen to this book every time I had a few spare minutes. The closer to the end you get, the faster the twists come, can you keep up?
