While there were some things in here that probably would displease members of the Church of England, I hope that they won't take it too hard. The things that went on were necessary to the story, and I think that's it.Vicar Beth Trevithick had been sent under a haze of shame to the isolated, superstitious village of Crowsmoor. The locals believe an old evil will return to life if certain rituals aren't carefully followed, including one that involves Beth's daily rote prayer said over the 300 year old grave of a seriously bad dead guy. I know that the reader often knows more than the main character, but I was mad at Beth several times for being stupider than she should have been. But even so, this story had plenty of surprises, the least of which was not the rollicking ending. We need some editing clean up here, but other than that, I say pretty well done.
