Wildheath Crags

Has Douglas Lockwood inadvertently resurrected the ghost of a long dead man after a hiking accident on Wildheath Crags, a vast tract of treacherous moorland surrounding Watholme, a Yorkshire village?

What will be the effects of this on Jane, Agnes and Violet Dean, who own the hotel where he is staying?

What is the meaning of the mournful wailing coming from the moors?

Did the three famous novelists, the Ayre sisters, who have made Watholme a popular tourist attraction, die young or did they fake their deaths and emigrate to Sicily?

Will Douglas ever know the truth?

Reviews:

• I found it easy to read, and it made me want to read on to find the ‘whys’ and the ‘what nexts’ in the story, which for me are important factors. My latest book club book provided neither!

• I have now read Wildheath Crags and am very impressed. It is well crafted and you have woven in the hook that makes the reader want to know more. Your use of language fills me with envy, and the descriptive narrative paints pictures of the local environment. The upshot is that I really enjoyed the book.

• I’m not a student of the Brontës, nor to be fair, many of the literature greats, but I do know what I like. I suspect that there are multiple references to the Bronte sisters’ shtick in the book, which I’m not qualified to comment on. However, I did really enjoy reading it. 

• When I read Wildheath Crags, I realised that, to start with, I was concentrating (subconsciously) on identifying places round Haworth. It certainly captured the spookiness of the moors! 

• I have finished reading 'Wildheath Crags' and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My favourite part was the Shirley/Violet episode which I hadn't seen coming at all!
