The Little Wax Doll

It was too good to be true...

The position Canon Thorby offered Deborah as head mistress in his private school in the picturesque English village of Walwyk included a generous salary, a lovely cottage, and even a cat. After twenty years as a missionary in Africa, it seemed that Mis Deborah Mayfield had finally found a place to settle. It WAS too good to be true. For Walwyk was not what it appeared to be. The idyllic little village masked a hideous secret - a secret that could destroy the innocent as well as the guilty. Miss Mayfield had no way o fknowing that she, too, was about to become a part of htat secret.
