科拉是一位热衷于自然科学的业余爱好者，对迷信毫无耐心，她被深深吸引，相信当地人认为的神奇野兽可能是一种尚未被发现的物种。

在她开始寻找魔兽踪迹的过程中，她认识了奥尔德温特的牧师威廉-兰塞姆，后者也对这些传言深表怀疑，但认为这些传言会分散人们对真正信仰的注意力。

在他努力安抚教区居民的同时，威尔和科拉建立起了深厚的感情，尽管他们在任何事情上都无法达成一致，

但他们发现自己既被吸引到一起，又被撕裂开来，以令他们都感到惊讶的方式影响着对方。

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER

'A blissful novel of unapologetic appetites ... here is a writer who understands life' JESSIE BURTON, author of THE MINIATURIST

London, 1893. When Cora Seaborne's controlling husband dies, she steps into her new life as a widow with as much relief as sadness. Along with her son Francis - a curious, obsessive boy - she leaves town for Essex, in the hope that fresh air and open space will provide refuge.

On arrival, rumours reach them that the mythical Essex Serpent, once said to roam the marshes claiming lives, has returned to the coastal parish of Aldwinter. Cora, a keen amateur naturalist with no patience for superstition, is enthralled, convinced that what the local people think is a magical beast may be a yet-undiscovered species.

As she sets out on its trail, she is introduced to William Ransome, Aldwinter's vicar, who is also deeply suspicious of the rumours, but thinks they are a distraction from true faith.

As he tries to calm his parishioners, Will and Cora strike up an intense relationship, and although they agree on absolutely nothing, they find themselves at once drawn together and torn apart, affecting each other in ways that surprise them both. The Essex Serpent is a thrilling and unforgettable novel of intrigue, love, and the many forms it can take.

A modern classic perfect for fans of Jessie Burton, Sarah Waters and Stacey Halls, THE ESSEX SERPENT is now a major Apple TV series starring Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston.
