There's even a character with the classy name of Dr. There are some shivers and shocks to be had as well, still in the classy vein, in particular with the startling appearance of a misshapen Something and two very upsetting falls on a staircase. The mystery of Who & Where Is The Witch is carefully unspooled and refracted through multiple perspectives, all of them completely sympathetic. Lovely, atmospheric descriptions of landscapes and homes that are pleasing to read about if not always pleasing to his characters' eyes. His prose is calm and thoughtful and dare I say it, refined. (Well not quite - the prelude is shrill and bloody, but that's over soon enough.) Trevor Hoyle is a rather elegant writer, paying careful attention to how his characters look, move, and talk. As another reviewer notes, it starts off so classy.
