It was a great mystery novel. I haven't read one in a while and it was just what I was looking for on my vacation. It was fast, well-written and a gripping tale. Some supernatural elements and takes place in the "moors" in England.
A new vicar, Harry, comes to a small town and finds himself hearing voices, feeling that someone is with him when there is no one there. The same things are happening for Tom, a young boy who lives in a new house next to the church. There have been three mysterious disappearances in past years of young girls; one of them supposedly died in a fire but her mother never bought that. Gillian, the mother, feels that her daughter did not die in that fire.
Harry meets the psychologist who cares for Gillian; romance develops; complications arise. Tom's young sister disappears and nearly dies.
As you can gather, lots of things go on but the story is easy to follow and has interesting characters and locale.
I read this in just a couple days - but I was on vacation and spending time poolside and beachside....just where I most love to read!
