That was FUN. Ghosts, exorcisms, small-town psycho killers, and a cold case mystery that resolves so satisfyingly in the last few pages - everything you could want from a foggy British horror. My only complaint is that I couldnt never keep the side characters straight from each other. I'm not religious so words like "vicar" "reverand" "pastor" "priest" and "church warden" all kind of mean the same thing to me, so to have like 5-10 men in the story with basic-ass man names like "Simon" and "Grady" being mostly identified by their relationship to the church was really difficult to track.
