In the chilling Merrily Watkins series, supernatural crime unfold as the Diocese of Hereford's dedicated Deliverance Consultant, along with her pagan teenage daughter, navigates a dark world where faith and the paranormal collide, revealing secrets that challenge both belief and her own identity.

**Series Synopsis: Merrily Watkins** In the shadowed corners of Ledwardine, where ancient stones whisper secrets and cobblestones echo the footsteps of the long-departed, a new vicar grapples with the entwined legacies of faith, folklore, and murder. Merrily Watkins, a strong-willed yet compassionate priest, finds herself thrust into a web of intrigue that stretches back centuries—a place where the line between the sacred and the supernatural blurs. In her quest for understanding and acceptance in this picturesque village, Merrily must confront a bitter dispute over a theatrical play that resurrects the accusations of witchcraft against a 17th-century clergyman, stirring up fears and resentments buried deep within the hearts of the locals. As Merrily navigates haunted vicarages and a community steeped in age-old mysteries, she uncovers the chilling truth that the village’s fascination with death is anything but a forgotten relic; it is a tradition that spills into the present. With her astute daughter Jane by her side, she battles not only the darkness that haunts the land but also the reluctance of the parish to face its past. Will Merrily find the strength to unearth long-buried truths before the village’s hidden malevolence claims another victim? With its rich tapestry of suspense, spirituality, and the strange interplay of human nature against a mysterious backdrop, the Merrily Watkins series beckons readers to explore a world where every ghost story holds a kernel of truth—and the deepest horrors often dwell within the human soul. Will you dare to follow Merrily into the shadows? The adventure awaits.
