The Man in the Moss by Phil Rickman
3.0
This is not a Watkins book, though it does feature a supporting character who eventually appears in the book.
The plot in the story at first seems like two plots - one the discover of a bog man who is unburied, and the other is the far out of a musician's death.
The book makes great use of old belief and tradition, as well as the idea of co-opting such for one's own history. While I didn't like it as much as some of the Watkins, as always Rickman writes excellent women.
