The Wine Of Angels by Phil Rickman

nigellicus's review

dark emotional mysterious tense

5.0

Torrid tale of murder, mystery, and hauntings set in a rural British village where Merrily Watkins is the new vicar, having been introduced to the charming community via an effort to revive a wassailing tradition that ends rather bloodily. Things don't get much better, though, what with being plunged headfirst into a controversial play to be performed in the church, but they do get tense, atmospheric and suspenseful.
