Phil Rickman’s books are right on the border between Herefordshire & Wales and sometimes wander across ?.

Come to think of it, her second book is set in Shrewsbury or has parts set there which is just across the border. I live quite close so like a child I got giddy that a book I was reading was set so close to home ?
