Review: Very glad I gave this a chance...

The fact that it's a "novella" put me off buying this for several days as I've never bought a novella and I'm not a huge fan of short stories. The series had been recommended by another author I really rate; otherwise, I never would have given it a chance. I'm so glad I did buy it and as soon as I finished it, I was back online getting the follow-up.  Now I'm eagerly awaiting Part 3; there is plenty of scope for the author to take this series much further.Although it is a short book, it felt very complete.  The backstory was revealed gradually over the course of this and the next book. I really liked the writing style and the setting.  Everyone waxes lyrical about Mrs. Saunders and she certainly is a feisty character. The location is almost another character itself. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this series progresses and I would certainly recommend this.
