Casebook interpretation

Welcome to Carver Valley

Carver Valley is principally known through one case, making this a compact story-location file rather than a claim to a complete village history. Its recorded case material places it in the Casebook's eccentric territory.

Editorial interpretation Where the programme has not established a resident, building or piece of geography, the Casebook leaves it unstated rather than turning inference into canon.
