Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Get the darkly compelling new novel from the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Chalk Man, The Taking of Annie Thorne and The Other People.

Five hundred years ago: eight martyrs were burnt to death.

Thirty years ago: two teenagers vanished without trace.

Two months ago: the vicar committed suicide.

Welcome to Chapel Croft.

For Rev Jack Brooks and teenage daughter Flo it's supposed to be a fresh start. New job, new home. But, as Jack knows, the past isn't easily forgotten.

And in a close-knit community where the residents seem as proud as they are haunted by Chapel Croft's history, Jack must tread carefully. Ancient superstitions as well as a mistrust of outsiders will be hard to overcome.

Yet right away Jack has more frightening concerns.

Why is Flo plagued by visions of burning girls?

Who's sending them sinister, threatening messages?

And why did no one mention that the last vicar killed himself?

Chapel Croft's secrets lie deep and dark as the tomb. Jack wouldn't touch them if not for Flo—anything to protect Flo.

But the past is catching up with Chapel Croft—and with Jack. For old ghosts with scores to settle will never rest....

For those who like it dark and gruesome

The book is well written, the storyline twisted and the end entirely unexpected.
The narrators did a marvelous job.

It is still not my cup of tea and I will not return to this author.
In my perception, I've been held captive in a very dark, gruesome, and twisted story without redeeming positive aspects.
For me, it has been an interesting but depressing journey. I will not visit again.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
