Summary
Deliverance consultant Merrily Watkins is ordered to investigate by the Bishop Hereford. Initially unconvinced that anything is amiss, a violent death changes everything, and Merrily's inquiries soon uncover hidden layers of sin and retribution in this secretive landscape.
Warned off when she stumbles into forbidden areas, Merrily has no option but to conceal a major crime as she returns to Garway to find fibres of fear stitched into history and insidiously twisted in the corridors and the cloisters Âof power.
Critic reviews
"First rate. A passionate, flawed modern woman, every bit as concerned with the intricacies of crime as with demons that go bump in the night. We don't praise our home-grown thriller writers enough. It's high time we praised Phil Rickman." (Daily Mail)
"As if an episode of The Vicar of Dibley or The Archers had suddenly turned into Cracker." (Sunday Times)
"Rickman's strengths, an acute ear for dialogue and a talent for wickedly accurate character cameos, draw one into a story where human frailties and strengths are counterposed. The clever combination of modern idiom and the timeless echo of history leaps from every page. You are there with poor Merrily every step of the way." (Daily Express)

Abridged version!
I assumed this was a shorter novel but after listening and thinking what an oddly clunky story it is, I realise this is the abridgement. I wouldn't have purchased had this been made clear anywhere in the description. Perhaps I will have to buy a physical copy so I can hear the rest of the actual book?

Have to question Audible's choice of narrator
Another excellent Merrily Watkins story but spoiled by poor narration and dreadfull characterization. Why not use Emma Powell?

I think I'll buy the book, this audio is not good
I have listened to this all the way through four times as I think the story is good but the accents and the narration, I find, were not good. I think I'll buy the book instead.

what a shame
Dreadful narration and clumsy editing of the abridgement,worse than a Readers Digest version. A waste of a credit
