In the affluent, historic town of Ludlow, a teenage boy dies in a fall from the castle ruins. Accident or suicide? No great mystery – so why does the boy's uncle, retired detective Andy Mumford, turn to Diocesan Exorcist Merrily Watkins?

More people will die before Merrily – her own future uncertain – uncovers a dangerous obsession with suicide, death and the afterlife hidden within these shadowed medieval streets.

Critic reviews

"Compassionate, original and sharply contemporary. Rickman's crime series is one of the best around." (The Spectator)

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

The Smile of a Ghost is the seventh in Phil Rickman's Merrily Watkins series. After gobbling up the first six on Kindle, I was excited to see Audible's now offering a whole slew of this series. So, once I finished #6 I snapped up #7. Emma Powell's narration is fabulous. Phil RIckman has a wonderful ear for dialogue, and Powell handles the various voices beautifully. Really, a wonderful match up.
