Notes:
The murder of women priests in the shrine town of Walsingham sucks Dr Ruth Galloway into an unholy investigation. When Ruth's friend Cathbad sees a vision of the Virgin Mary, in a white gown and blue cloak, in the graveyard next to the cottage he is house-sitting, he takes it in his stride. Walsingham has strong connections to Mary, and 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 Cathbad's vision was all too human, and that a horrible crime has been committed. DCI Nelson and his team are called in for the murder investigation, and soon establish that the dead woman was a recovering addict being treated at a nearby private hospital. Ruth, a devout atheist, has managed to avoid Walsingham during her seventeen years in Norfolk.

Reviews
This was a bit different to her usual style in the Ruth Galloway series. Not much in it about archaeology, which is what the main character is an expert in. Author seems to have a dislike of Roman Catholics in general and this novel seems to be a vehicle for the author to voice her dislikes. I know it was about priests, but there was to much religion for me! Disappointing - I hope she reverts to form for the next book in the series!

I enjoyed this book. Although the plots of Elly’s books are sometimes a little too obvious this one
