    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
