Welcome To witherleigh

Welcome To Witherleigh
'Haven't you wondered why there is a vacancy at the church?
They killed him.
They're all in it together.'


Witherleigh is a small village set on the fringes of Exmoor. But quiet places hold deadly secrets. When the new church worker Richard Radcliffe arrives, he expects to find a welcoming but ancient farming community. Unfortunately, he soon realises that something is very wrong in Witherleigh.
Soon Richard is drawn into a centuries old conspiracy involving ancient farming families, witchcraft, and demonry. He joins forces with Bethany Bond, the headstrong daughter of one of the missing curates, who is working undercover at the Bishop's Nod, the local pub. To find justice for the murdered curates, they must fight for not only their own lives but for the very souls of the missing.


'The ever-failing Richard Radcliffe is thrown into the depths of demonic Devonshire, armed only with elastic bands and a passable knowledge of Latin. Can he quell the ghastly happenings in the sleepy village of Witherleigh? Will Bethany ever see him as more than an insane fool? Will Snowy ever find Martha? All these questions and more will be answered in this intellectually inspired craft from PJ Reed.'

What readers are saying about Welcome To Witherleigh:
'The story weaves its way into ancient occult circles in sleepy Devon and leads to an interesting twist at its climax. One of my favourite films is the 'Wickerman' and this had a similar mood to it for me.' NB


'Fantastic clever descriptions, readable, engaging, educational…. I won't be stopping in some farmer's caravan from now on. Clever twists in the story and brilliant dark humour, use of certain words conjured up imagery that might make us blush as much as Richard.' RS


'Genuinely, enjoyed it thoroughly. The character development is fantastic and you have a real skill of ensuring the reader has to read on after a chapter end, as they need to know what's coming next. You've managed to develop a real picture of a modern day, out of touch Devonshire village and played fantastically on the stereotypical places and people you'd expect to find. This realism really gives the novel a different dimension, as, although clearly fictitious, you still feel as though Witherleigh and the surrounding area are places you could well come across on your travels. Perfectly set up for another instalment… Loved it.' DM
