Philip Rickman Poradie kníh
Phil Rickman, ocenený novinár, po piatich úspešných románoch predstavil fascinujúcu sériu s hlavnou postavou Merrily Watkinsovou. Jeho písanie sa vyznačuje hlbokým ponorom do psychológie postáv a sugestívnou atmosférou, často situovanou na hranici medzi Walesom a Anglickom. Autor majstrovsky spája napätie s nadprirodzenými prvkami a tradičnými motívmi, čím vytvára jedinečný literárny zážitok. Jeho diela sú oceňované pre svoju komplexnosť a originálny prístup k žánru.

The Revd Merrily Watkins had never wanted a picture-postcard parish - or a huge and haunted vicarage. Nor had she particularly wanted to walk straight into a local dispute over a controversial play about a strange seventeeth-century clergyman accused of witchcraft ... a story that certain old-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 and her teenage daughter Jane discover - a village where horrific murder is a tradition that spans centuries.
