Really enjoyable. My only annoyance with it is with the place name. It's a fictional Norfolk village called Wyndenham and they all pronouce it EXACTLY as it's spelled. If you've ever been to Norfolk, you'll know that's never the case. This place would be pronouced "Wine-em" or "Winn-em" or something random like "Witch-inger". That way, they know who's local and who to ignore :)
