Query: My First Rickman (One Spoiler)

The first Phil Rickman novel I read. Rickman bases his novels on England's pagan spiritual past rising up against the remnants of the Christian conquest and the reality of its materialistic present. Outsiders who try to change local customs are thus always up to no good.I began reading this on a rainy Friday and finished it on a sunny Sunday. I felt the weather fit the book. Rickman got off to a good start, especially in the concept and the terrific sense of place. In the end he disappointed just a little by having his smart and powerful villains too easily defeated. He lost me when he has a middle-aged woman kill a big strong groundskeeper with an exhaust pipe.A great read on the whole. This wasn't my last Rickman.
