The Auctioneer by Joan Samson

3.0

I found the characters to be quite frustrating and difficult to care about, but the story was fast paced and gripping enough to keep me reading. The concept of a town being slowly taken over by a seemingly benign force reminded me a lot of The Midwich Cuckoos but without the SciFi elements. It was a good story. Very sinister.
