The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry
4.0

This was a strange book. It is mostly a romance, with a little bit of mystery and a little bit of the macabre.
It follows a young widow who finds freedom at the death of her strict and overbearing husband. She travels to the country in the hopes to find evidence of a giant serpent living off the coast. She befriends the local pastor, a man who is intent upon quashing all of the rumors of the serpent while trying to deal with a town caught up in madness.
Different. And good.
