Barri Brown is fed up. A hard-working teacher on Guernsey, she's fed up of people telling her that her biological clock is ticking. She's fed up of being told that she'll 'change her mind' when she tells her family, friends and colleagues that she doesn't ever want children and she's fed up of being overwhelmed, overloaded, unappreciated and overlooked for promotion in favour of people she's spent years covering for when they have been off on repeated maternity leave. Not only that but she doesn't really have any friends; her family is exasperated by her, despite what she sees as her best efforts to be a good Sister and Aunt (I fully empathise with her sister here), and worse still, her husband Sean has disappeared and is ghosting her, and she doesn't know why or where he is.

“A Halloween fancy dress party in the deep, dark woods? Sounds like trouble!” A Halloween party in the middle of the woods is the perfect place for a killer to go unnoticed – right? When a teenage party gets out of hand and one of the attendees turns up dead, apparently pushed from a folly, everyone is a suspect. The police are eager to find out who was involved so they can avoid a mass panic and perhaps more deaths. The old mining site where the folly sits is already home to the legend of 'Sally In the Wood', a ghostly young woman dressed in white who is often sighted in the area, usually preceding a death - and they really don't need mass hysteria kicking in with a killer potentially on the loose.

Review: The Debt Collector by Steven Max Russo Abigail Barnes is not your stereotypical shady debt collector. Petite and blonde, she's hardly scary or intimidating, however she is highly skilled in Krav Maga martial arts and isn't afraid to use weapons - her knuckledusters being a case in point. People on the receiving end of her skills soon realise that Abby/Gabby is not out to make friends.
