Booklog 14/2025: Natasha Bache: The Winter Crone – Tamsyn Pride #1 – Audiobook

[jacey]

Narrated by Harrie Dobby

Tamsyn Pride returns to her Grandmother's house, Rosemount Cottage,  in Much Wenlock on the death of the old lady, but gradually realises that something unnatural is going on. Her grandma didn't die of  a heart attack, but who killed her and why? Gradually Tam begins to remember a magic she's been spelled to forget, but even her grandmother's best friend, Bridie, isn't telling everything she knows. There's a 'magical' council and the chairman is making a bid for power. This is a halfway decent story but there are a few plot-holes and a bit of a weird ending. It's designed to lead on to a second book, but I probably won't pick that up immediately. It's very well read by Harrie Dobby.

I actually know Much Wenlock. I may have to get this for my brother, who lives close to it.

Since I don't know Much Wenlock, I can't vouch for how accurate this is.
