Summary

In high summer, darkness descends on Elgar's England.

Shadowed by the Malvern Hills, the village of Wychehill is no rural paradise but an uneasy mix of embittered farmers, escapees from the city, and a pub with a reputation for drug dealing. Called in to investigate an unsettling series of road accidents, Merrily Watkins stumbles into a barbed tangle of alienation, murder...and the fatal pursuit of an archaic secret.

***Be aware, this is abridged***

Sorely disappointed! I love the Merrily Watkins series and this is the first audible book in the series I've bought. I am switching between actually reading the book and listening to the audible version and when first returning to the book, I realised how much of the content had been left out - huge chunks of it! Don't waste your credits on this version, I wish I hadn't.
