Psi (psitek) | 4 comments There are a few queries that need to be looked into for in Merrily Watkins series by Phil Rickman.

- The latest book title changed after it's been released. Originally it was supposed to be For the Hell of It which has been since changed to The Fever of The World.
The title and the cover need updating on the listing.
Here's the book on the publisher's website - https://atlantic-books.co.uk/book/the...
The Fever of the World

The Fever of the World
Published: 2 June 2022 by Corvus
ISBN: 9781786494597
Description:
Welcome to the River Wye: a place of poetry, historic obsession… and occult murder.

The curious death of an estate agent is being investigated by detective David Vaynor who, before joining the police, studied the famous 18th century poet William Wordsworth. As Vaynor is discovering, the dark paganism that changed Wordsworth’s life still lingers on the banks of the River Wye today – and there are some killings even the police can’t approach…

Enter Merrily Watkins, parish priest, single mum, and diocesan exorcist for Hereford. Called away from her local hauntings, Merrily finds herself confronting the riverside ghosts who, as Wordsworth puts it, ‘promote ill purposes and flatter foul desires’. In the ancient heart of the Wye Valley, a buried grudge is about to come to light.

- This book is actually a number 16 in a series. There's a mistake in the series order where The House of Susan Lulham is labelled as a #12.5. This is wrong and it should be #13 instead, which would bump all the other books up one and will give The Fever of the World number 16 instead of 15, as stated on the publisher's website.

- There are currently two listings for the same book when you search, can they be merged?

The House of Susan Lulham is a novella so it gets a decimal number.

The book cover is still the old one when I got to this page https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4..., does it take a while to update?
It should be The Fever of the World one
