In reply to Skilbey. Thanks for reading Skilbey. I have to say I get really wound up whenever someone is falsely accused so this book pressed all my buttons! The characters are terrifically written though, it's a gem :-)

I have to say this book sounds absolutely compelling, having an interest myself in the accused and those that lived in fear of being accused. Mathew Hopkins sounds equally compelling and downright awful. So glad the ending is satisfying. Now, if he could just be reincarnated as a woman during that time… 🙂

Sounds intriguing Georgia. I’ve always been fascinated with the history of accused witches, especially after discovering that the place I’ve lived near for many years – Bideford in Devon – is famous for the last hanging of witches in England, back in 1682. Then, to see that this book is set in Coggeshall, where hubby’s ancestors lived, it’s even more compelling! I look forward to reading it.
