Autumn is here and the Little Duck Pond Café crew are looking forward to spending a relaxing week in the country. That’s the theory, anyway. Because when they arrive, they quickly become immersed in village life after a power cut, only to find themselves spooked at every turn by mysterious goings-on, all of which seem to be connected to the creepy old house next-door. Is someone playing scary Hallowe’en tricks on them? Or is there something rather more sinister afoot…?
A series that goes from strength to strength, book 30! Wow. What
I enjoy about Rosie’s Little Duck Pond books is that we have variation,
location, main character, theme but they are always an entertaining and
familiar read.
It is also nice to know a bunch of characters and
their back stories, even though you don’t need to have read any previous books
to enjoy each one. This time the I Little Duck Pond ladies are off on a little
trip to a cottage in a small village. They soon discover this cottage is next
door to a so called haunted house, with some fears starting to surface, tensions
mount and things start happening – well it is Halloween after all!
The girls, in typical style befriend locals, including the
resident of the house next door, and when spooky figures are seen – in the
garden, flying overhead; they try to figure out what exactly is happening and
whether there is hauntings or other explanations.
As always the story includes details on how their
lives have progressed, there are changes afoot for many of our favourite
characters, some don’t seem to be their usual selves and we discover that they
are holding on to secrets.
Such an
entertaining read, I was trying to stay logical in piecing out the mystery events
but you never know! It all came together nicely though, and was fun to have the
girls in a different setting. I’m not a fan of Halloween but I did enjoy the spookier
elements to this one.
I love this series so it’s a pleasure to read. Fun
and engaging writing with great, likeable characters. I look forward to the next
one!
