Haunted abbey with a long, bloody past turned into a recording studio for a band of psychic folk-rockers. Sounds bizarre, but carried off well. At nearly 700 pages about 100 too long, imo, but the book is generally solid. Nice mixture of specificity, allusiveness & atmosphere; decent characterization; and I was still curious up to the end in spite of the surfeit text.

The first Rickman novel i ever picked up...and still my overwhelming favorite. Absolutely love everything about it, and it loses none of it's punch over time. highly recommended.
