Fish nibbled at the bloated face. To whom does the body in the stream belong? Was violence involved? Fear takes hold and a relaxed way of life becomes suspended during a protracted murder investigation.
Have you aspired to live in a rural community, or solve an unusual crime? If so, this book is for you
Parley Pole unfolds over eight seasons, it describes: the interlocking lives of rural characters; the workings of the beleaguered parish and ambitious parochial councils; the travails of the care home, principle farmer, lady of the manor and under funded village hall.
Included is: an elderly romance, a coming of age, a cross cultural marriage and a touching, youthful love affair. Disparate residents unite to resist the threat of a secondary school and a minerals pit being located in their parish.
The author's insight brings a complete rural village to intriguing, but realistic life.
