User Notes:
Paperbound; vi + 329 pp. This title appears to be the first in a
series of "Mary Wandwalker" novels.
From the author's "Acknowledgements and Apologies to Celts":
"This is not a story criticizing ancient Celts nor those inspired by
them today. Rather the novel explores the dangers of psychic
possession. It looks at people traumatized by war or family
breakdown in the context of acute anxieties about the climate
emergency. 'The Sacred Well Murders' argues that there is a
psychic and social dimension of ecological crisis hitherto
neglected by the powers that be."
The author is an OFJ speaker:
