"Why do we hate our girls so much that history echoes with their screams and the earth is pitted with their unmarked graves?"

Jack Brooks does not so much get offered a new position as have it foisted upon her. She is to be the new interim vicar in a remote village, but she does try to make the best of things since an incident in her past is making life difficult for her and her daughter to remain where they are anyway. Perhaps the fresh start will do them both good. It's not long until their fresh start begins to sour, and it is not only due to the strange superstitions and mysterious apparitions.
The chapel is in rough shape and their cottage leaves a lot to be desired. The townspeople are weird and Jack's daughter is the target of bullies.
Part thriller, part murder mystery, C.J. Tudor's latest work held me captive from first page to last. Quirky characters and unexpected twists kept me reading long past my bed time.

I received an advance copy for review.
