The Bermondsey Grail by Mary Cade

Last night i finished this book, it was ok, but very long winded and quite disappointing.

Adelaide is an unlikely heroine, a middle aged woman without any martial art skills, the ability to speak Aramaic or use a gun, whose greatest talents lie in dreaming and her love of music. Arriving at her much disliked workplace one dark winter morning she is swept up by a supernatural river and brought into contact with the ghost of a drowned young man. So begins the strange adventure of the Bermondsey Grail in which past events break through into contemporary London life, creating a new and dangerous reality for Adelaide. She and her two young companions, Joe and Imogen, race to outwit rival Grail seekers, their actions interweaving with those of the mysterious past inhabitants of Bermondsey. Legend, love, magic and twenty first century office procedures combine to bring the story to a thrilling conclusion.
