Phil Rickman lives on the Welsh border where he writes and presents the book programme Phil the Shelf on BBC Radio Wales. He is the hugely popular author of the Merrily Watkins series and the John Dee papers.
Merrily Watkins is the most singular of crime fiction
protagonists... As ever [Rickman]'s supremely skillful at teasing
out the menace that lies behind English folk customs and legends
and weaving them into a compelling contemporary narrative.
*Mail on Sunday*
Rickman is on top form here, as are all his characters... the plot
is probably the most spine-tingling one to date. Delightfully
sinister
*CrimeReview.co.uk*
Ancient history, violent deaths, feuds, intrigues and murder. A
most original sleuth.
*The Times on the Merrily Watkins series*
Compassionate, original and sharply contemporary, Rickman's crime
series is one of the best around.
*Spectator on the Merrily Watkins series*
Few writers blend the ancient and supernatural with the modern and
criminal better than Rickman.
*Guardian on the Merrily Watkins series*
First rate crime with demons that go bump in the night.
*Daily Mail on the Merrily Watkins series*
I have a thing for long series with complex characters, moral
ambiguity and evocative writing, and Rickman's Merrily Watkins
series is one of the very best.
*Diana Gabaldon*
