I enjoyed this book. Very atmospheric. The author paints a vivid picture of the town and characters. The ending felt a little rushed but that won't keep me from reading another of his novels.

Shepherd’s Cross is a supernatural thriller set in a small, remote English Village. In the opening scenes, a farmer stumbles across a horrifying altar erected on his land with in the sight lines of an old “abandoned” manse. He involves the police and the investigation takes off at a hectic pace as bodies and crimes begin to accumulate with no seeming concern for the police who are investigating.

The plot was interesting and involved satanic rituals, virgin sacrifices, and the dark history of the village with a side plot of romance for one of the police officers. I did feel that it was too rushed and this did not give the characters a chance to develop fully. But overall, it was a decent read, somewhere between 2 to 3 stars.

I think the blatant blasphemy in this story was ridiculous. This could have been a decent enough story without it.
