The Merrily Watkins series will have you hooked. Join Merrily in her chilling tales of murder, mystery and intrigue.
The new vicar had never wanted a picture-postcard parish — or a huge and haunted vicarage. Nor had she wanted to walk into a dispute over a controversial play about a seventeenth-century clergyman accused of witchcraft… a story that certain long-established families would rather remained obscure.
But this is Ledwardine, steeped in cider and secrets… A paradise of cobbled streets and timber-framed houses. And also — as Merrily Watkins and her teenage daughter, Jane, discover — a village where horrific murder is a tradition that spans centuries.
Few writers blend the ancient and supernatural with the modern and criminal better than Rickman. — Guardian
