The Burning Girls

The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor, 333 pages

When single mom Jack Brooks moves to Chapel Croft to take over the vicarage, she fully expects to find a small town with conservative ideals where everyone knows each other's business. What she doesn't expect is 500-year-old legacy of protestant martyrs who were burned at the stake, a mysteriously delivered exorcism kit on her front door, and the surprise news that her predecessor killed himself. On top of that, 30 years ago, two girls mysteriously disappeared, and things are still strange and mysterious.

While billed as a mystery, this book definitely has some thriller, and almost horror, vibes too. There are teenaged bullies, a decades-old buried mystery, and even Jack has plenty of secrets. A good creepy thriller.
