Mystery thriller with elements of horror, this novel follows a widowed vicar and her daughter as they settle into a new village known for its martyred burnings several centuries before. 
So I quite liked this book, it's less supernatural horror then I first expected but it's a real page turner with a fast paced story and plenty of twists, some I kind of guessed early on and others I didn't. Even so, I did love the twists and the ending.  All the characters were compelling and I did like the different POVs and timelines.  The writing were engaging and sharp, the atmosphere was perfectly set up and really felt creepy and ominous. 
A very solid mystery and I'm looking forward to read more books by this author.
