Never the Bride
Whitby is a strange place. A north eastern fishing town overlooked by the ruins of a 1300 year old abbey. The darker corners of its cobbled streets were immortalised in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
This is the story of its peculiar inhabitants and bizarre establishments. The Christmas Hotel, a place where it's Yuletide every day. What goes on there at night after the doors have closed and why are the serving elves disappearing? The Deadly Boutique, up on the hill. Are the ladies who frequent the shop really getting younger as a result of Mr Danby's beauty treatments?
It's up to Effie and Brenda to find out. But what is Brenda's secret? Is she really just the landlady of a bed and breakfast or is there something even more extraordinary about her life...?
Never the Bride is a cracking read that throws new light on a number of old, familiar stories. Thoroughly recommended.
