Merrily Watkins faces multiple occult threats in her fourth outingIn Herefordshire's hop-growing country, where the river flows as dark as beer, a converted kiln is the scene of a savage murder. When the local vicar refuses to help its new owners cope with the aftermath, diocesan exorcist Merrily Watkins is sent in by the Bishop. Already involved in the case of a schoolgirl whose mother thinks she's possessed by evil, the hesitant Merrily is drawn into a deadly tangle of deceit, corruption, and sexual menace as she uncovers the secrets of a village with a past as twisted as the hop-bines which once enclosed it.

Merrily Watkins is a great character, the Herefordshire's diocesean reluctant exorcist who with her feisty teenage daughter Jane, finds herself drawn into an exploration of the criminal but with an inevitable supernatural twist. In this, the 4th book a hop kiln converted into a home appears to be haunted but does it need an exorcist or is it just something dodgy.
Glad I went back to this series, very readable
