Set in the Cotswolds, this is the next instalment in the ventures of Inspector Hobbes, Mrs Goodfellow and Dregs, while narrated from the still disaster-prone Andy Caplet. It is a rip roaring, funny and moving story of Andy’s infatuation having a dangerously gorgeous woman, starting during investigations into sheep fatalities and the mystical disappearance of pheasants. These incidents appear to be linked to a rash of big kitty sightings, then one horrible appears to be lurking in the woods. Is normally Andy cursed to be usually unsuccessful in like, or is the curse something much darker, a thing that will arouse his primeval terrors?
