The Prayer of the Night Shepherd | Phil Rickman

2 posts | 6 read | 3 to read

The sixth Merrily Watkins mystery finds her daughter embarking on a first job, and running into a dark local legendA crumbling hotel on the border of England and Wales, a suggestion of inherited evil, a strange love affair, and the long-disputed origins of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles. Fascinating for young Jane Watkins, flushed by the freedom of her first weekend job. But the sinister side becomes increasingly apparent to her mother, Merrily, diocesan exorcist for Hereford. Then come memories of a child-killer, blood in the fresh snow.

The Prayer of the Night Shepherd | Phil Rickman

pick

6th in the reverend merrily Watkins series finds her and her teenage daughter drawn into a mystery set in an apparently haunted hotel on the welsh/English border where Arthur conan doyle was reputed to have stayed. Merrily diocesan exorcist is an enjoyable character, + the book has 2 threads, but lord at over 600 pages long I felt at times it could have done with a heavy edit. But as I enjoy these stories, I'll definitely be back for more.

Keeping up with my rereading of Merrily in preparation for the latest. I am on the edge of my seat. I keep discovering details that I had forgot.
