"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.

Review of 'Midwinter of the spirit' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I must admit I was a little disappointed by this book - the first in the series was so good that this felt like a bit of a let down. It felt somehow rushed, and the new characters didn't seem as well developed as in the first installment which was one of the things I liked so much about it. There was also a slightly icky sex angle. It was still a good read but I'd probably have given it a better rating if the first one hadn't been so brilliant that it felt rather disappointing in comparison.
