MNicholson said: It is very difficult to understand why Strangers at Witchend is rated as one of the worst of the Lone Pine series. The second half of the book is really quite exciting and I think this makes up for really dire first half.
There is far more violence in this book than I expected - and yes I do mean violence.
I have a soft spot for Harriet Sparrow and in Strangers at Witchend (#18) she emerges as one of the main characters in the, clearly crumbling, Lone Pine Club. Since she doesnt appear in Wheres My Girl (#19) and plays no significant part in Home to Witchend (#20) it is fair to say that Strangers at Witchend was the high point of her career in the LPC.
The twins were less unpleasant than usual but Tom still annoys me. I do wish Saville could have written him out of the series!
