Susan Howatch

The Darrow Series

What’s more intriguing than a handsome psychic? A handsome psychic with a clerical collar, of course! Howatch writes a riveting stories about father and son ministers who struggles to follow their twin callings as both a healer-priests. Set in the Church of England, this series spans two generations and multiple decades. Dishy love affairs, intriguing psychic mysteries, and well-research theological and psychological theory peg these books with the oxymoronic classification of “intellectual potboilers.” My favorite? Glamorous Powers, but start with Glittering Images to start the Jonathan Darrow series, or pick up the more modern The Wonder Worker to read up on his son, Nicholas Darrow.
