About this listen
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....

A little contrived and far fetched but...
I enjoyed this but way too many characters and plot twists for me, rather than adding to the narrative it became a little confusing and unnecessary in parts. very well narrated.

Loving C. J. Tudor's books. This one didn't disappoint. Loved Gemma Whelan reading it too. Fantastic! Recommended!

Clever, creepy and twisty with great characters
I really enjoyed this creepy, twisty tale set in the Sussex countryside. Great characters who are detailed, complex, interesting and believable (I often feel this is lacking in thrillers by other writers, but Tudor is great at characterisation). Really enjoyed all the classic film 80s/90s references too!

Enjoyable but predictable in parts
I did enjoy this, well performed and a good story for the most part. However pretty quickly I figured out one of the major twists and was frustrated nobody else in the story could see something so obvious.
But it wouldn’t stop me reading more by the author and there were other twists I didn’t see coming. So all in all I’m glad I listened.

This will be a great movie and should have been an 'audible pick' ... rather than some of those selected previously. 5* narration!

Good Listen, lots of twist and turns
I enjoyed this story so much that I listened to another title by the author. Narration was superb! I enjoyed the characters but I wanted Jack to never say her name again!

the building of suspense
I liked the twists, they kept me guessing and some I didn't see coming. The characters were relatable and likeable.
