Glad you enjoyed! I knew bits of it - such as Charles Williams' interests in the subject (well, they're hard to miss!), and some of it underlines that however lurid her plots, Susan Howatch did know a lot about mid century Anglicanism - but a lot of the rest of it was new to me.

I kept thinking 'Susan Howatch!' as I read it. Very interesting.

The stuff about exorcisms was very Howatch, wasn't it? I bet she'd read "Exorcising Devils."

I think she must have done! The suggestion of a psychic world where some people can operate is so exactly what she describes. I was trying to remember some of the books she quotes from as chapter headings in the various books, and thinking surely one of them was the Exeter report too.
