About this listen

Diocesan Exorcist – a job viewed by the Church of England with such extreme suspicion that they changed the name. It's Deliverance Consultant now. Still, it seems no job for a woman. But when the Bishop offers it to Merrily Watkins – parish priest and single mum – she's in no position to refuse.

It starts badly for Merrily and gets no easier. As an early winter slices through the old city of Hereford, a body is found in the River Wye, an ancient church is desecrated and signs of evil appear in the cathedral itself, where the tomb of a medieval saint lies in pieces.

This series of novels has really appealed to me as a relatively contemporary setting in a real city with issues I can relate to. My only gripe is with the narrator- would someone please tell her that it is a convention to pronounce the direct article ‘the’ as ‘thee’ when followed by a vowel? I bet she’d pronounce it properly in ordinary speech.

Loving the series!

It was well read and gripping. Although I always have a few little criticisms, I’m sorry, I can’t help it. I do feel it is important for someone reading a book about real places, which will be listened to by people who are connected to it, to find out the pronunciations of places. Particularly in England or Wales where pronunciations can be quite different from phonetics. Anyway, as someone whose mother lives in Dinedor (pronounced Dyne Door or Dyne de) I found myself correcting her every time she said Dinnedor. Also with Mitsubishi although I’m not Japanese (that one may be phonetic).
Nevertheless I’ve downloaded the next one as I can’t put it down.

Very gripping.
