Petworth is renowned for the National Trust Petworth Park House & Gardens, and reputedly has an antique shop for every day of the year! While Midhurst is home to Cowdray Park, home of Polo, and much more besides. You’re not far from the South Downs Way here, and right in the heart of miles and miles of unspoilt Sussex countryside. An archaeological investigation was carried within the footprint of the proposed new dwelling on 14th April 2009. This revealed evidence of a single rubbish pit, dated to the mid 17th/early 18th century and may be a rubbish pit associated with the house. Item Type:

Sea Whispers: A Comfortable Holiday Cottage in Blakeney

The mystery that leads the story drags on and on without excitement. No edge-of-my-seat review here. When the secret is finally revealed near the very end, I honestly lost all interest. I seem to be in the minority here, so I'll start out by saying this book might just not have worked for me. However, I had several problems with it. Thank you to Netgalley, Avon Books, and the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review of the book. The story opens with a puzzling prologue that drew me in immediately. It's 1964 and a young baby screaming as its mother failing to soothe it in the presence of its somewhat grumpy father who silently swears he will teach that child a lesson or two the next time it dares to scream.

Success!

With enchanting villages, beaches and sand dunes, North Norfolk makes the perfect holiday escape. Enjoy breathtaking views across the Blakeney estuary and out to sea, admiring the hundreds of different breeds of migrating birds which call the region their home for the warmer months. Spend an afternoon hiking along coastal paths, wandering through the streets of charming Georgian market town Holt or watching the local seal colonies at Blakeney Point nature reserve, before whiling away the evenings with a hearty meal in a friendly local pub. For a more sedate countryside experience, choose a section of the 100-mile long South Downs Way to walk or cycle, and enjoy the Sussex landscape at it’s very best – or choose walks from your door in Lodsworth that run through woodland and fields and boast some stunning views of the South Downs and Rother Valley.

I was a little all over the place with the rating of this book. I loved the prologue and enjoyed the ending of the book. The beginning and middle were slow but enjoyable. The entire time I knew that the author was building the story, to be patient and wait. There is a very nice payoff at the end. Yet, Clark doesn’t fully invest in this narrative which I thought was a real shame. There is so much emphasis on the possibility of the supernatural that I did not want it to be explained by reason and logic. I thought this omission was a bit disappointing because of how many spooky and inexplicable events that occur as a result of interacting with Stina’s neighbour. Indeed, the death of one of the characters in the story felt so connected to Mrs Barley that I wanted my supernatural hunger to be fulfilled… but it never really came. The opening chapter is set in 1964, and gives no clue as to who is involved. This doesn't become apparent until later in the book. On the ground floor you’ll find double and twin-sized bedrooms, along with a family bathroom with a shower and separate bath – so you won’t have to queue in the morning to freshen up.A very atmospheric read with plenty of undertones of the supernatural and past secrets to be discovered and unfold.
