Description
A former Scotland Yard detective, Father Gilbert knows about death. But as priest of a modest Anglican church in a small Sussex town, he didn't expect it to show up like this - first in a suicide from the church tower, and then in the discovery of a two hundred year old body beneath an ancient bridge.
The Deaths are linked. The mummified corpse reignites a centuries-old battle between two local families - the Todds and the aristocratic Hayshams - and the search for a legendary sword and ring that may have diabolical power.
Against his will, Father Gilbert is thrown into a mix of local violence and depravity, and the underlying motives of both the living and the dead.,

The publisher provided me with the opportunity to read this in exchange for providing feedback. (via NetGalley)
My review is closer to 3.5 stars but was rounded up. Overall, it was an easy read and although the story went in a direction not usually in my wheelhouse, it was still an enjoyable read. There were some formatting errors that I assume were related to it being an arc.
