Book excerpt: This fiction presents a thrilling murder mystery connecting the lead characters to The Burn Platts, an area above Slaithwaite near Pole Moor where some Romanies lived around the time of an incident that occurred in 1832, at the Moorcock Inn, on the border of the bleak moorland above Greenfield near Saddleworth. At this isolated pub, the landlord and his gamekeeper son were brutally murdered. This quest to find the murders is worth reading. The gripping plot, memorable characters, and unique writing style make this work enjoyable. This work includes significant portions of the dialect used at that time in the region when Greenfield was a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The local Saddleworth author, D. F. E. Sykes, has tried to reproduce this phonetically using the traditional alphabet. This work is a must-read for anyone curious about this dialect and, of course, all the murder mystery lovers.
