Chris (United Kingdom) (2008/02/21):
I think I picked this up from a charity shop book sale. Certainly I remember seeing the author's name and thinking "I like Cadfael, I might like this". As it happens, I didn't. I very nearly gave up reading it but it got interesting about half way in. I just wasn't interested.

This is typical Ellis Peters - but don't expect Cadfael! Her story is about a young girl in love with an "unsuitable" man, and so at odds with her parents, and the consequences of the action she takes. It is also a portrait of society at the time it was written - 1964. It is hard today to remember that in 1964 a young girl who went away for the weekend with a man would be disgraced in the eyes of the community - and so would her family. A girl had to be a virgin when she married, and parents did their utmost to ensure that she was - controlling everything their daughters did and everywhere they went. Girls had to be very clever and deceitful to do what they wanted.
This is no exaggeration. I know. I was a teenager at the time.

cover:
Annet Beck has the kind of breathtaking beauty that strikes people dumb, and young teacher Tom Kenyon, a lodger in her parents' house, is no exception. When Annet disappears, last seen on the Hallowmount, an historic border site with an eerie reputation, Tom determines to find out where and why: Annet is adamant she's been away a mere two hours but there is irrefutable evidence that she has been gone for five days. What is the explanation? Deliberate deceit? Amnesia? Or witchcraft?Tom's amateur investigations get nowhere until Detective Inspector George Felse finds cause to connect those missing five days with his enquiry into a death. The subsequent search takes the two men along a trail of betrayal, robbery and murder to a deadly confrontation among the ancient stones of the Hallowmount...
