The first book in the Merrily Watkins series. The new vicar had never wanted a picture-postcard parish—or a huge and haunted vicarage. Nor had she wanted to walk into a dispute over a controversial play about a seventeenth-century clergyman accused of witchcraft... a story that certain long-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 Watkins and her teenage daughter, Jane, discover, a village where horrific murder is a tradition that spans centuries.

Condition

This is a very good solid copy of the first printing. There is tanning and light foxing to the pages' fore-edge, but otherwise a good clean copy. The dustwrapper has not been price-clipped and is now within a protective sleeve.
