Whereas Cilla employs native contractors and pours cash into the group, somebody doesn’t need her round. Vandalism and hateful messages threaten her nicely laid plans. Ought to she keep or ought to she go? These are questions she asks herself after every heinous act.
I preferred the setting and the characters on this story, particularly Ford and his means of conditions very in another way.

I preferred the creepy sub-theme which added a darkish ingredient, and I had enjoyable making an attempt to work out the clues as to who it might be who wished Cilla gone.
