Slate Expectations — David Burnell

Playwright Arno James was determined to re-enact the chequered history of the Delabole Slate Quarry â€" at any cost. Though even he hadn't expected the cost would be so high. Widowed analyst George Gilbert knew nothing about the previous owner when she put in her offer on nearby Ivy Cottage, except that she was well and truly dead. There was, though, plenty of life from beyond the grave. It was unfortunate that the first encounter between author and analyst raised more questions than it answered. Another Conundrum from magnificent North Cornwall.
