Description
A paradise parish of cobbled streets and timber-framed houses, a huge and haunted vicarage -- not what the Rev. Merrily Watkins ever had in mind. Nor had she wanted to walk into a local dispute over a play about a curious seventeenth-century cleric accused of witchcraft ... a story that certain old- established families would rather remained in obscurity.
But this is Ledwardine, steeped in cider and secrets. And also -- as Merrily and her teenage daughter, Jane, discover -- a village where horrific murder is a tradition spanning centuries.
