I loved The Chalk Man, so was very excited when I got the opportunity to read The Burning Girls. As with The Chalk Man, Tudor slowly envelops you with an immediate sense of unease and foreboding. This uneasiness builds and creeps around throughout the book as some dark and sinister events occur.
Tudor is a master of walking the line between horror and suspense and you question throughout what really is happening. We get to see the many aspects of the dark and sinister history and present of the sleepy countryside village and those who linger within. It's all pulled together very well at the end with a thumping twist.

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!
