The Wine of Angels

De: Phil Rickman

Narrado por: Rebecca Lacey

The new vicar had never wanted a picture-postcard parish – or a huge and haunted vicarage. Nor had she wanted to walk into a dispute over a controversial play about a 17th-century clergyman accused of witchcraft ... a story that certain long-established families would rather remained obscure. But this is Ledwardine, steeped in cider and secrets ... a paradise of cobbled streets and timber-framed houses. And also – as Merrily Watkins and her teenage daughter, Jane, discover – a village where horrific murder is a tradition that spans centuries.©1998 Phil Rickman (P)2006 Isis Audio

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Few writers blend the ancient and supernatural with the modern and criminal better than Rickman." (Guardian)

"First rate crime with demons that go bump in the night." (Daily Mail)

"Phil Rickman is one of my all-time favourites." (Diana Gabaldon, international best-selling author)

So Good!!

The story was really good but the Reader was AMAZING! Her storytelling really made all the characters feel real.

We Love Merrily

Excellent narration and a cracking good story. Highly recommend. On to the next book in the ser!

Eeriness in the English countryside

Enjoyed the underlying mood of menace coupled with the deep dark secrets of the Church. Well worth reading. Great intro to the Merrily Watkins series

Mixed experience

The premise of a woman Anglican priest in a haunted vicarage in a pagan town is intriguing. The story does not benefit from the unnecessary introduction of a racial stereotype to indicate a fraught event, but the narrator's incredible ability to make a range of distinguishable male and female voices with credible regional accents, educations and ages is very impressive. The production, however, suffers from being recorded at so low a volume that it constantly needs the listener's full attention, ear to device, to be heard.

Wonderful - Take a listen!

The Wine of Angels is the first in the Merrily Watkins series, and can be read/listened to as a stand-alone. I read this originally as a traditional book, and, having finished the series, I am now re-reading via listening . OK, I loved it as a hard-copy book, and I am loving it all over again as an audiobook. The narration is excellent. Take a listen!
