The Burning

The Burning

By Robert Derry

Genre:-Thriller/Horror Thriller/Ghost

Pages:-420

Blurb:-To the Mountford family, it was their very own chocolate-box cottage, set deep in the folds of the English countryside.

 Their sumptuous second home, a nest egg for retirement, a secluded bolthole for times of trouble.

 In March 2020, as London fell silent under the threat of Covid19, Tony Mountford made the snap decision to see out lockdown in the close confines of their charming country retreat, unconcerned that one mischievous ghost would be waiting for them.

 But something had changed as fear gripped the nation, and the very bones of their much-loved timber-framed holiday home now creaked to the footfall of more sinister steps.

 A new tenant has taken up residence within its thick stone walls, drawn from a time when the innocent had paid the price for ignorance as a Royal edict fanned the flames of fear across the shires of England.

 Take care as you travel with them, for a chill wind is turning northward, and the embers are still burning

My Review:-London, March 2020 and it's Lockdown. The Mountford family are watching the news like so most of the UK. The death toll for Covid was rising fast, Tony Mountford decided if they had to stay in, the family were doing it in their holiday cottage. The cottage wasn't like any other, they had a ghost, which wasn't happy with them. Eight-year-old Alfie had seen the ghost man in his bedroom, as well as Charlie having someone or something grabbing him by his throat. That was enough to make them put the cottage up for sale. Gavin and Simon bought the cottage and decided to take the cottage back to the bare stone and wood. When they unearthed many things that had been hidden for years, Gavin decided to look deeper into the history and that is when he made some shocking things. I'm not saying anything else about the book, you will need to read it.
