Wowza! This was my first book by Tudor, and I can’t wait to read more! Set in a small English village, a newly reassigned vicar is thrown into place with a long, spooky history that may come back to haunt them all. I really don’t want to give too much away, but this was an excellently plotted read with great characters. It’s been a while since I finished it, and I find myself still thinking back to it, always a good sign. Very spooky atmosphere, and it kept me guessing until the end!
