Night Angels: a scary episode on the Snake Pass Find!
I've just remembered about this scary thriller by Sheffield based author Danuta Reah. It begins as a young woman's car breaks down on a dark, wet night as she heads back to Sheffield over the Snake. Next morning her car is found, empty.
As D.I. Lynne Jordan investigates more women disappear and it begins to seem that a serial killer is at work. Eventually Lynne's path takes her through Glossop and over the Snake as the mist comes down....." "Then her engine cut out. Just like that, without warning. The wind whipped across the moors and the car rocked. But a cold feeling was coming over her that had nothing to do with the cold outside or the sound of the wind."
I found this a disturbing and compelling read.

The Man in the Moss by Phil Rickman
Ive not read Night Angels but it sounds like one I would enjoy after reacently reading The Man in the Moss.
The man of the title is an ancient body discovered preserved in the Peat moor close to the remote Pennine village of Bridlow. The story revolves round the superstitions of the village led by Ma Wagstaff and the Mothers Union who could be described as witches I suppose, and the removal of the body leaving the village, in their eyes, exposed to the supernatural.
Bridlow’s superstitions come under attack from the fundamentalist Minister Joel Beard who has a less sympathetic approach to the methods of the Mothers than they have been used to. Into this mix come Moira Cairns a folk singer with powers of her own, and a group of satanic worshipers led by an ex villager, to make a gripping read with lots of twists and turns ending in a spectacular natural disaster.
More people should read Phil Rickman, he's an unacknowleged national treasure! This one is set in the very far north of Derbyshire. He also co-wrote "Mysterious Derbyshire" back in 1977. Not a lot of people know that.
Danuta Reah also writes under the name Carla Banks. One of her Banks novels, 'The Forest of Souls', is set partly in the Upper Derwent Valley. Somewhere near Ladybower Reservoir, I think.
I had a dream to make my firm, however I didn't have enough amount of cash to do that. Thank goodness my close fellow advised to use the personal loans. Thence I used the short term loan and realized my old dream.
