Cover art shows a sharp-toothed goblin-like creature peering through weeds underwater.

Book extract reads: I took the keys out of my pocket, alert for any hint of movement from either side as I approached the steps. If the bastards were going to try to rush me, they could come from the garage yard or up from the basement steps, or around the corner, under the walnut parlour windows. Three to one wasn’t good odds if they trapped me on the steps.
Nothing happened. I got to the porch, opened up, got inside and relocked the door. By the time I switched off the alarm, my pulse was racing and I was breathing hard.
I forced myself to walk slowly as I made a circuit of the ground floor. I checked every window. All was secure, and the silent house was serene. When I returned to the oak parlour, I was breathing more evenly again.
I didn’t have long to wait before Rufus rang. I could hear him scowling.
‘No sign of the bastards anywhere, but Bill and Martha are fine. They’ve been watching some old musical. I told them to lock up, stay in and ring 999 if they see or hear anything.’
‘That sounds good to me.’
‘I’m going to ring the cops and see what they want us to do.’
‘Call me back and let me know. I’ll ring Ed Franklin and tell him everything’s okay here.
I put the handset down and went to find Nicki’s phone list to get Ed’s mobile number. Once I had it, I picked up the phone and began hitting buttons. I was halfway through the number when the confident dial tone went silent.

And it is absolutely fantastic, and is a perfect read now when we start leaving the summer behind and again facing the possibility of ice water falling from heaven again.
BTW will there be an new autumn read this year?

@GoblinQuester I am working on it right now. Before the end of the year is as much as I'm prepared to commit to - the last six months have been one disruptive thing after another hereabouts!

Urgh, that's awful! I wish you a more harmonious and less disruptive autumn! And I will patiently await the arrival of the goodness whenever it will come! Much better with a good book and a happy writer, that a rushed thing and a grumpy author!
Could Reality please note that I want it to ease off on my favourite authors otherwise there will be consequences!!
