The Newcomer by Fern Britton
2.0

This is a story of a newly ordained vicar getting the chance to look after her first parish in a small village with some small mysteries along the way.

I didn’t really enjoy the book but I didn’t hate it, it’s an easy summer read. I think it felt like it was trying to leave too many options open in case the author wanted to choose a different ending. Some characters were really built up and some weren’t who should have been, like the daughter. *just read some other reviews and it looks like the author has written about these characters before so that might explain it*
There were still quite a few grammatical and spelling errors throughout the book too which was annoying.

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy in exchange for review.
