PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
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 Bones of Avalon and the Merrily Watkins series.
Ancient history, violent deaths, feuds, intrigues and murder. A most original sleuth. The Times First rate crime with demons that go bump in the night. Daily Mail Compassionate, original and sharply contemporary, Rickman's crime series is one of the best around. Spectator Few writers blend the ancient and supernatural with the modern and criminal better than Rickman. Guardian Phil Rickman is one of my all-time favourites. I love everything he's done, from horror to mystery to supernatural thriller - often all in the same book. -- Diana Gabaldon
