As in [[Lost Souls by Neil White|Lost Souls]] there are some gruesome aspects to the story. In his day job White is a Senior Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service and when I read his books I have the feeling of an author who is writing from experience rather than research, but there's a degree of sensitivity in the telling. I'll confess to not liking this book as much as [[Lost Souls by Neil White|Lost Souls]] but that's purely down to a personal dislike of stories involving witchcraft – if I put that aside, I know that Neil White is getting better.
