A Merrily Watkins mystery, [16]

Summary

THE SIXTEENTH INSTALMENT IN THE MERRILY WATKINS SERIES 'Merrily Watkins is the most singular of crime fiction protagonists... As ever [Rickman]'s supremely skillful at teasing out the menace that lies behind English folk customs and legends and weaving them into a compelling contemporary narrative.' Mail on Sunday ''I called on Darkness-but before the word Was uttered, midnight darkness seemed to take All objects from my sight...' William Wordsworth England's most famous poet once thought of himself as a modern druid and found his deepest inspiration on the banks of the River Wye, where Celtic magic can still be found and an old darkness lingers. Now, as the world is at the mercy of the coronavirus pandemic, diocesan exorcist Merrily Watkins learns that the ghosts of the lower Wye Valley still need some attention.
