The Haunting of Devilwill Copse Roundhouse
“We are both in the business of the dead.”
Belladonna Black, owner of Black Paranormal Private Investigations was quite used to all and sundry asking after her services, however, the phone call from the Project Director of Devilswill Copse House did come as a surprise. A ghostly horse and ancient Roman Legionnaire riding through their archaeological educational site was not something the director or the school children in attendance were prepared to overlook.
Around 400AD Albus, the fierce Roman Legionnaire was living in a typical roundhouse in Britain, kept company by his cherished and trusted stallion, Delicutus, awaiting leave to return to his beloved Rome. He had fallen in love with the Goth girl, Bijou whose family would not have condoned the relationship.
What had happened in this Copse so many centuries ago that was now manifesting in this center of learning amongst the artifacts of the past? Could Bella satisfy Devilswill's director, Slade Simmersby's concerns, with or without her dead sister Mindy's help?
The learned practitioners of the present are called upon to right the hurts of the past, but can anyone help the dead to settle after the atrocities committed in a different world so very long ago?

Quick and entertaining
This book was a very quick read, I think it took like 3 hours (not including all the time I got distracted and it just sat open on my kindle). The story is entertaining enough, it could easily be the plot of the week on a TV show. The dialogue is kinda stiff though (example: "It looks like a book," she said. "Close. It's codex." "A codex?" "Basically, a book..."). At the same time, I was reading the book as an American, and I got the feeling partway through that the author is British and it might have flowed better if I'd read it that way. All in all, if you have time and enjoy ghosts and everything spooky like I do, I'd definitely give this one a shot.
