All of a Winter's Night by Phil Rickman
A medieval legend spawns an unhealthy cult... and a terrifying case for Merrily Watkins.
Merrily Watkins is the most singular of crime fiction protagonists.. As ever [Rickman]'s supremely skillful at teasing out the menace that lies behind English folk customs and legends and weaving them into a compelling contemporary narrative. * Mail on Sunday *
Rickman is on top form here, as are all his characters... the plot is probably the most spine-tingling one to date. Delightfully sinister -- CrimeReview.co.uk
Ancient history, violent deaths, feuds, intrigues and murder. A most original sleuth. * The Times on the Merrily Watkins series *
Compassionate, original and sharply contemporary, Rickman's crime series is one of the best around. * Spectator on the Merrily Watkins series *
Few writers blend the ancient and supernatural with the modern and criminal better than Rickman. * Guardian on the Merrily Watkins series *
First rate crime with demons that go bump in the night. * Daily Mail on the Merrily Watkins series *
I have a thing for long series with complex characters, moral ambiguity and evocative writing, and Rickman's Merrily Watkins series is one of the very best. * Diana Gabaldon *
