About this eBook
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

I have found Mr Rickmans' books an interesting read. I have only one problem with the digital release some of the punctuation is missing as are all the speech marks in this one. This makes it quite difficult to tell speech from the rest of the text. It is ONLY because of this that I mark it down to 3*, sort this out and I will change it to 5*.

Digital version has no punctuation unless you select 'original text'. However, the plot is interesting and the author deserves full marks for it. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
