The first in the Merrily Watkins series and I really enjoyed it. Will be reading more this series.

Back Cover Blurb:
The Revd Merrily Watkins had never wanted a picture-postcard parish.....or a huge haunted vicarage. Nor had she particularly wanted to walk straight into a local dispute over a controversial play about a stange 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 discover - a village where horrific murder is a tradition that spans centuries.
