The Second Sleep - Robert Harris

Christopher Fairfax is a young priest, who arrives by horse to a small English village where he needs to perform a funeral for the parson who has died.  I did enjoy the first half of this book, and was pretty sure I knew what was happening.   I however did not get the 2nd half of the book and felt like I should have been a bit more shocked by the twist, which didn't feel too surprising.   Somehow I felt like I was getting schooled by this cautionary tale, and it didn't really shock me like it was intended. 3/5

I like learning things from books, even fiction, but I don't like being instructed or preached to...
