#Tudor fantasy town cracked#
ever since I cracked open the pages of The Chalk Man. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was pretending he didn’t exist. Another top-notch thriller from one of my favorite writers, and one I can definitely see lighting up Netflix in the next couple of years. A perfect blend of Stephen King and Harlan Coben with the style and panache that only Tudor can deliver. The Burning Girls is a taut, unputdownable nail-biter of a story.

And when Flo is troubled by strange sightings in the old chapel, it becomes apparent that there are ghosts here that refuse to be laid to rest.īut uncovering the truth can be deadly in a village where everyone has something to protect, everyone has links with the village’s bloody past, and no one trusts an outsider. The more Jack and daughter Flo get acquainted with the town and its strange denizens, the deeper they are drawn into their rifts, mysteries, and suspicions. “But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known.” Instead, Jack finds a town mired in secrecy and a strange welcome package: an old exorcism kit and a note quoting scripture. Reverend Jack Brooks, a single parent with a fourteen-year-old daughter and a heavy conscience, arrives in the village hoping to make a fresh start and find some peace. And two months ago, the vicar of the local parish killed himself. Thirty years ago, two teenage girls disappeared without a trace. Five hundred years ago, eight protestant martyrs were burned at the stake here.
An unconventional vicar moves to a remote corner of the English countryside, only to discover a community haunted by death and disappearances both past and present–and intent on keeping its dark secrets–in this explosive, unsettling thriller from acclaimed author C.
