The Witch by Iain Rob Wright -- a review by Jonathan Brett Kennedy

The story opens with lifelong best friends Ashley and Jude on their summer holidays. They’re get bullied and chased down into a culvert where they discover an abandoned farmhouse. After exploring, they discover a naked woman chained to a chair and flee in fear. They head home and tell their parents. The police investigate, and find no evidence of the woman the two have claimed to have seen. The next day, the two go in search of answers for why the police didn’t discover the woman.

The story itself was interesting, though not what the synopsis promised. The problem comes down to the author’s constant describing a women’s breasts. Look, I like tits as much as the next guy, but I found myself groaning every time because Wright breaks the tension of several scenes to describe a woman’s chest. 

This was my first book by Wright, and was not impressed. I’ll give him another go, but not for a while.

Rating:  1.5/5
