The Woman In Blue

Product Description

The murder of women priests in Norfolks spooky shrine town of Walsingham draws forensic archaeologist Dr Ruth Galloway into a thrilling new adventure. A must-read for all crime fiction fans, especially addicts of Ann Cleeves VERA books & TV series.

When Ruths friend Cathbad sees a vision of the Virgin Mary, in a white gown & blue cloak, in Walsinghams graveyard, he takes it in his stride. Walsingham has strong connections to Mary, & Cathbad is a druid after all; visions come with the job. But when the body of a woman in a blue dressing-gown is found dead the next day in a nearby ditch, it is clear that a horrible crime has been committed, & DCI Nelson & his team are called in for what is now a murder investigation.

Ruth, a devout atheist, has managed to avoid Walsingham during her seventeen years in Norfolk. But then an old university friend asks to meet her in the village, & Ruth is amazed to discover that she is now a priest. She has been receiving vitriolic anonymous letters targeting women priests
- letters containing references to local archaeology & a striking phrase about a woman clad in blue, weeping for the world.

Then another woman is murdered
- a priest. As Walsingham prepares for its annual Easter re-enactment of the Crucifixion, the race is on to unmask the killer before they strike again...
