In Herefordshire's hop-growing country, a converted kiln is the scene of a savage murder. When the local vicar refuses to help its new owners cope with the aftermath, Merrily Watkins is sent in by the Bishop of Hereford to defuse the situation.

Merrily, however, is already contending with a woman's claim that her daughter is possessed by evil. In both cases Merrily remains unconvinced, but nothing is ever quite what it seems.

As she is drawn into a tangle of trickery, deceit, corruption and sexual menace, her hastily conducted exorcism produces unhappy results. With her career now on the line, she tries to uncover the secrets of Knight's Frome - a village concealing a twisted past as...

A good match of character and narrator, likeable heroes, convincing villains and a nicely puzzling plot.

I am three-quarters of the way through this reading and am struggling to finish it. I do not enjoy unneccessary wordiness of it nor its adolescent script. I do not think many younger people who would find nothing untoward in this style of writing would have the patience to wade through it. The pace of the narration is irritatingly slow at times. I would avoid a recording using this narrator in the future. Altogether disappointing.
