"An early winter slices though the old city of Hereford, a body is found in the River Wye, an ancient church is desecrated, and there are signs of a dark ritual on the hill overlooking the city. Meanwhile, reports of psychic unrest in the city's cathedral speak of an undying evil lying close to the heart of the Church of England. In this second electrifying tale, exorcist Rev. Merrily Watkins must tread in places where an intangible malevolence thrives uncurbed by the forces of law and order."--Book description.
Another enjoyable read, though at times the convolutions of the plot annoy me. Too many twists and turns. I did also dislike the sudden climax which then just stopped and the recapping of the conclusion is not the way i like a narrative to run. The deus ex machina finale is not the best way compared to a blow by blow narrative in my opinion.
