Talk Of The Village (U) (Ulverscroft Large Print Series)

Rich in characters and events, a poignant, heart-warming story. In The Royal Oak, Turnham Malpas, the usual banter has turned to bitter wrangling as the Rector's wife, Caroline, challenges Jimmy over an ancient country tradition and splits the village her husband has united. Meanwhile Sheila's rumour-mongering threatens Caroline's own happiness. Even the gentle Muriel finds herself saying too much. To protect his wife, Peter must publicly admit his own human frailty. Nothing is so painful though, as confronting the evil that lurks behind the village windows.
