In 1662, a man is wrongly executed for signing the death warrant of Charles I. While awaiting execution, he asks to speak with a priest, to whom he declares a curse on the village that betrayed him. The priest responds with a counter-curse, leaving just one option to nullify it.Over four centuries later, Faith and James move to the country to start a new life and a family. They learn that their village lives under the curse uttered by the hanged man. Could their arrival be connected?Faith and James fear that their choice of a new home is no coincidence. Unexplained events hint at threats or warnings to leave, including the slaughter of their hens, an attic break-in and other menacing incidents. They become convinced the village continues to live under the curse despite denials from their new friends. Who can they trust, and who are potential enemies?

4.0 out of 5 stars a slow burn thriller/horror/mystery
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024
A curse that started in 1660 has continued to plague a small village where James and Faith have recently moved. All throughout the book unexplained events, threats and warnings make them contemplate whether or not the choice to move was correct. They have the money and means to go where they want, but city life was not for them.
Let me say that I loved the banter between James and Faith. I could feel their level of intelligence and how badly they wanted to fit in. That level of intelligence made it hard for them to take into account the things that they thought were happening to them. This is a slow burn thriller/horror/mystery and trust me, the cover(which is what drew me to this to begin with) will explain itself. Hang on!

Finished the book in 2 days, difficult to put it down. Well observed characters in a sleepy village with a hidden past.

This is not my usual genre, but it's an easy, page-turning read. A nice young couple find their ideal home, helpfully and unexpectedly offered for sale, in a delightful village with a dark secret and a curse going back to the seventeenth century. So what could possibly go wrong?
