Product Description

Review

"Credible characters . . . and absorbing archeological lore are a plus."

Publishers Weekly

"What a captivating character Merrily Watkins turns out to be." —Booklist Online

"Merrily is a most original sleuth and an interesting, sparky woman of emotional and spiritual depth. Rickman is an excellent writer, terrific on atmosphere . . . The best so far." —The Times

Product Description

The village of Ledwardine has never been flooded in living memory, but as the river continues to rise with December rains, within days it will be an island. Electricity has been cut and the church is serving as a temporary mortuary for two people who drowned. Only one man feels safe: an aggressively atheist author who has been moved—for his own safety—into a secluded house just outside the village. Meanwhile, archaeologists—assisted by Merrily Watkins’s teenage daughter, Jane—are at work unearthing an ancient row of standing stones which some people would prefer stay buried. The atheist’s temporary home is close to the site and his young wife is becoming conspicuously agitated. Is it the fear of discovery? With the flood water washing up Church Lane towards the vicarage and the shop running out of cigarettes, it looks to be a cold and complex Christmas for Merrily Watkins.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absorbing Read, Dec 5 2008

By	K. McMullen "kitsilanoca" (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ce commentaire est de: To Dream of the Dead (Hardcover)

After seeing late friend Lucy Devenish in a dream, to dream of the dead is an omen that there is going to be a flood, Jane Watkins tells Lol, her mother's boyfriend, and it looks like she is right. The December rains have been torrential and nearly non-stop, and the river through Ledwardine is rising as are all the others in the West Midland county of Herefordshire; that and it's only a few days until Christmas. A horrific murder supposedly linked to the unearthing of the Dinedor Serpent, a pagan monument, is then committed in Hereford during this difficult time, and vicar and Anglican dioscean exorcist Merrily Watkins finds herself once more drawn into a web of intrigue and lies.

So you find out as the story of another excellent Merrily Watkins mystery by Phil Rickman opens up. Once more the author had me riveted to every page, making the book last by only reading a couple of chapters a day, as I like to with a good read. The style and complexity of the story kept on surprising me with its unexpected twists and turns, and as usual Rickman's wonderful way of breathing life into his characters, and his descriptiveness of the countryside and towns makes me want to visit Herefordshire and it's neighbouring counties very much. One of those books that I wish the story could go on forever; which it has with the absorbing series Rickman has been putting out for the last ten years.
