The Revd Merrily Watkins had never wanted a picture-postcard parish - or a huge and haunted vicarage. Nor had she particularly wanted to walk straight into a local dispute over a controversial play about a strange seventeenth-century clergyman accused of witchcraft ...a story that certain old-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 and her teenage daughter Jane discover - a village where horrific murder is a tradition that spans centuries.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Ohhhh Releasing to a moocher and fellow Bookcrosser! 2nd Class 14th August 2009

arrived today, thanks

am putting this to the top of TBR so I can pass it on for the Feruary birthday exchange

I found this engaging enough to keep me interested but not gripping. eventually gave up as it just wasn't grabbing me, and I was impatient to see where it went, but didn't care enough to keep wading. I hope the next reader enjoys it, as it is on their wishlist.

will be sending it out next time I venture out

Thanks Suedo x
