Slow burning start, speeds up later, story about a village with secrets, as all villages have, only this one involves dead children. Featuring Evi the psychologist and Reverend Harry the new vicar in the village, a family who have just built a house in the village, the children claim they see a ghostly child, and then strange things start to happen.

I enjoyed it, except the epilogue, it just didn't work for me.
