The Burning Girls
by C.J. Tudor
If you have read Phil Rickman, you will quickly pick up on the fact that Tudor's lead, Jack, is very much in the cassock of Watkins. Single widowed mother who is a vicar with a smoking problem and a teen girl who is a goth new age type of stage. Said family gets sent to a small parish in a out of the way, somewhat strange and spooky village.
It is to Tudor's credit that she at once refers to Watkins but also plays off a reader's exceptions of Watkins. She makes Jack and her daughter something different. In part, this is because of some of the plot twists. In others, it was because while Jack makes you think of Watkins, there are differences (Watkins seems to have more faith while Jack is grounded in a real city feeling).
It was a good read.
