Yes! I finally got book 8! I have been waiting impatiently for it. And I immediately dove back into the world of Ruth Galloway.

This time a friend asks for her help, and DCI Nelson is investigating a murder set in the same place.

A certain revelation from the last book turned into something here, and again, yeah, these two will never happen again. And I am glad that Ruth is happy on her own with her cat and kid (though as a romantic I feel that she should get some too.)

Good as always, they are just so easy and good to read. On to book 9!

Known as England’s Nazareth, the medieval town of Little Walsingham is famous for religious apparitions. So when Ruth Galloway’s druid friend Cathbad sees a woman in a white dress and a dark blue cloak standing alone in the local cemetery one night, he takes her as a vision of the Virgin Mary. But then a woman wrapped in blue cloth is found dead the next day, and Ruth’s old friend Hilary, an Anglican priest, receives a series of hateful, threatening letters. Could these crimes be connected? When one of Hilary’s fellow female priests is murdered just before Little Walsingham’s annual Good Friday Passion Play, Ruth, Cathbad, and DCI Harry Nelson must team up to find the killer before he strikes again.
