Midwinter of the Spirit

Parish priest, single mum, chain smoker, exorcist.... Satanists are planning something really evil in Hereford and, with the help of her daughter Jane, shy folk singer Lol and grumpy Yorkshireman and head exorcist Huw, its up to newly appointed deliverance (exorcist) minister Merrily Watkins to stop them. Slow placed and complex with some brilliant characters. Don't be put off by the very average tv adaptation, they only used about a 3rd of the book and although Anna Maxwell Martin was a really good pick for Merrily, for me Merrily will always be Nicola Walker.
