Ok so this was marketed to me as horror. I wouldn't call it horror. Maybe thriller without the supermarket-mom aspect that most thriller books have. My nana wouldn't want to read this. 

I, however, am someone who can only sort of tolerate the supermarket-mom-paperbook vibe. I dip in occcasinally to keep up with super popular books because I have extreme fomo. 

This book is not that! If you want a little creepy (some paranormal, some murrrdaahhhh) then this will do it for ya. And the main character is a woman vicar, which is sick, and her name is Jack, so. I'm immediately in. And she was fairly likeable! This was fun. Read it.

Ich konnte das Buch auf einer langen Busfahrt in beinahe einem Stück lesen, es war trotz des sehr langatmigen Anfangs also doch spannend genug, um dran zu bleiben ;) 
Dennoch muss ich sagen, dass mir die Vorgeschichte (auch wenn es im Nachhinein irgendwie Sinn ergibt) zu slow-paced war. 
Auf den ultimativen Plottwist bin ich bis zum Ende nicht gekommen, für mich sind aber dennoch zu viele Fragen offen

Woher kam Wrigley zum Beispiel? Warum musste er zur Adoption freigegeben werden?

 

Insgesamt kurzweilig und unterhaltsam, die Auseinandersetzung mit der englischen Kirche fand ich sehr interessant, auch wenn ich nicht überprüfen kann, ob das, was die Protagonistin erlebt/worüber sie nachdenkt, alles der Wahrheit entspricht.
