The Burning Girls plot
Chapel Croft is a village haunted by a dark and turbulent history. Five hundred years ago, Protestant martyrs - including two young girls - were betrayed and burned at the stake. Thirty years ago, two teenage girls disappeared without a trace. And a few weeks ago the pastor of the local parish hanged himself in the nave of the church. Now Jack Brooks, a female minister and single mother of 15-year-old daughter Flo, arrives in Chapel Croft hoping for a fresh start. But instead of finding peace in their new home, Jack discovers that the village is full of conspiracies and secrets. Discovering the truth can be deadly in a community with a bloody past, where everyone has something to hide.
