Seventh in the series featuring Scotland Yard's Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James. Kincaid's cousin in Glastonbury has been having some interesting experiences, but when one of his friends is badly injured in a hit-and-run, he asks Kincaid to come visit and ask a few questions. Kincaid and James are no longer working together but he can invite her on a vacation. There are quite a few supernatural doings in this one, a definite difference from her previous books. A dead monk makes his thoughts known through automatic writing, an artist is driven to paint the face of a young girl in everything, the local potter feels the Goddess's hand very close, and everyone seems to be feeling portents of doom with moments of holy ecstasy shining in now and again. Liked the Glastonbury locale and the characters, although the supernatural element left me unmoved. I like "woo-woo" in general so maybe it was just the unexpected inclusion here.
