A young Wiccan couple, newcomers to the mysterious area of the English/Welsh border, want to reconsecrate a ruined church on their land in the name of the old pagan gods...
A fundamentalist local minister is, however, profoundly provoked by this, all the more as this church is one of five dedicated to St Michael, warrior against dragons...
A country solicitor who cannot seem to let his dead wife go...
And Old Hindwell, the small border community, holds quite a few more dark and unsettling secrets as well!
In the midst of all this and with conflicts growing on all sides, the Rev. Merrily Watkins, 'diocesan deliverance consultant', finds herself not only in a situation where her own beliefs and loyalty to the church are seriously tested, but also on late-night trash TV to represent the Church against militant pagans. When she finds out the truth about the shadowy secrets of Old Hindwell's spiritual legacy, she puts her own life at risk.
'A Crown of Lights', the third in the 'Merrily Watkins'-series, is a brilliant
blend of crime novel, supernatural suspense and murder mystery. The characters
and the setting are so utterly real and believable that you seem to see and hear
and smell and feel as you read, and you are taken right into the eerie atmosphere.
Take a few days off work, unhook the phone and find a baby-sitter! (and when you've finished, look forward to the sequel...).
