Broomsticks over Flaxborough

English

By (author): Colin Watson

As Miss Lucilla Teatime often remarks, there is no lack of entertainment in the delightful town of Flaxborough.

What could be more wholesome than the Folklore Societys quarterly revels, with dancing, a bonfire, and a quaffing bench? Well-upholstered matrons and town worthies enter most enthusiastically into the spirit. So its unfortunate when a younger woman, the freethinking Edna Hillyard, goes missing that night.

Then the manufacturer of Lucillite (gives your wash lightness, brightness and whiteness), filming a promotion locally, is dismayed to find a gruesome bulls head ruining his key scene, while desecrations take place in the church, and the press begins reporting on Black Magic and a Town of Fear! Are DI Purbright and his team really battling against evil forces?

Witty and a little wicked, Colin Watsons tales offer a mordantly entertaining cast of characters and laugh-out-loud wordplay.
