The Magus of Hay

After a two year absence Merrily Watkins is back, and boy does she ave a story to tell. For the first time in many years she finds herself alone. Her daughter Jane is away on an archaeology dig, and her boyfriend Lol is on tour. Merrily is supposed to be on a much needed and long overdue holiday. Then she gets a phone-call from that loveable Scouser, Frannie Bliss.
I didn't miss Jane or Lol,as their absence allowed the welcome return of Robin and Betty Thorogood and Gwynn Arthur Jones.
“The Magus of Hay” is easily the best in the Merrily Watkins series. It has replaced “The Cure of Souls” as my personal favorite. Anyone who has read the series will love this book. If you have never read anything by Phil Rickman my advise is get reading. You don't know what you're missing.
