About this Event

Join for our Mystery/Thriller month this October.

The Burning Girls, C. J. Tudor

500 years ago: eight martyrs were burnt to death
30 years ago: two teenagers vanished without trace
Two months ago: the vicar committed suicide

Welcome to Chapel Croft.

For Rev Jack Brooks and teenage daughter Flo it's supposed to be a fresh start. New job, new home. But, as Jack knows, the past isn't easily forgotten.

And in a close-knit community where the residents seem as proud as they are haunted by Chapel Croft's history, Jack must tread carefully. Ancient superstitions as well as a mistrust of outsiders will be hard to overcome.

Yet right away Jack has more frightening concerns.

Why is Flo plagued by visions of burning girls?
Who's sending them sinister, threatening messages?
And why did no one mention that the last vicar killed himself?

Chapel Croft's secrets lie deep and dark as the tomb. Jack wouldn't touch them if not for Flo - anything to protect Flo.

But the past is catching up with Chapel Croft - and with Jack. For old ghosts with scores to settle will never rest...

Who we are

The Valkyrie Book Society is a space for women who love good books and great company.

We care about what we read and how we connect. Our community is a place of strength and warmth where women can be completely themselves (and we never take ourselves too seriously).

We’re here for the hot takes, the eye rolls, the laughs, the tears, the raised eyebrows and the stories that stay with you.

More than a book club. The Valkyrie Book Society 😊
