THE HOUSE OF SUSAN LULHAM Merrily Watkins, Book 12.5

Narrator Emma Powell engagingly presents this entry in the Merrily Watkins series. Watkins is an Anglican deliverance consultant, meaning she provides advice on paranormal matters to her church's minister. In this installment, Zoe Mahonie claims her new home is haunted by Susan Lulham, who lived in the house until her gruesome suicide. Powell clearly demonstrates the women's strikingly different personalities. Watkins is a warm, compassionate person who movingly conveys her views on evil in today's world. Mahonie is so nasty and suspicious that Watkins questions her truthfulness about the haunting. Mahonie has a Facebook page, and listeners will enjoy the page's clever comments on Watkins and the ancient practice of exorcism. Watkins proves once again that things are often not what they seem.
