The Key In The Lock is an atmospheric, slow burner of a historic mystery - and it’s full of what I love in a book. You know that there’s a specific end in sight: that of the cause of the fire at the Great House and how exactly the grandson of the master of the house died.

Along the way, we meet Ivy, the local doctor’s daughter, who helps out at the house after the fire, and falls in love with Edward, his son. Something happens, though, and we see her in the future mourning her son’s death - her son with Boscawen the Coroner, NOT Edward.

The story is told in flashbacks to Ivy’s youth and the fire. The impact of the fire is still felt in the present for Ivy, her husband and all those involved. Ivy’s chance contact with Edward makes her feel that she can find out exactly how her son died, and how the fire started at Polneath. Edward is only too happy to help her find out more information about her son. But is he reliable?

The descriptions of Cornwall and London are such that I had no problem with building the pictures of the places in my head: the dourness of Polneath, a place that seemed unhappy even before the fire. The busyness of the town and of London, the beauty of the village (it made me want to go on holiday to Cornwall!!).

I felt so sad for Ivy, especially when she finds out the truth.

This is an elegantly told story, that made me think more than once of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca. It had me gripped throughout. I loved it. Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for serialising another great book.

Do you have a child or children who are struggling to sleep or relax? Well, maybe “Night of Mysterious Blessings” by Sally Metzger can help calm down through stressful thoughts or worries.

This book brings a bit of God into the story. Though through a twist, many children learn that helps them sleep at night. This mysterious man they all call sandman. This book is relaxing and calm for adults as well as children. I do enjoy that.

This book is about a little boy and his dog. Will the little boy fall asleep, or will he toss and turn all night? Will the mysterious man be able to help him? The pictures are well-designed; I have enjoyed looking at them. They do tell the story. My body was relaxing while reading this book. It seemed to destress me, and the pictures helped as well.

This book may be a good idea for parents to pick up for themselves and their children. Children can learn about a mysterious man called the sandman and about God.

The mysterious man came to help the little boy. He looks like someone that we enjoy in the winter and around the Christmas holiday. I am curious to know if the look is intended that way but for me. He looks all joyous and happy and relaxed. However, he is supposed to be a sandman.

This book is a good bedtime story for children. Parents can read it to them, or young readers that are early readers can read this or learn to read from this book. Maybe your child or children can see what comes from the morning light after a restful night. You could learn about worrying and stressing less from this lovely story. I would like to know if there will be more books or a series.
