Summary

A gripping tale of witchcraft and romance, past and present, from the Sunday Times bestselling author…

The parish of Manningtree and Mistley has a dark history. In 1644, Cromwell's Witchfinder General tortured scores of women there, including Liza the herbalist, whose cottage still stands. Some say the spirits of his victims still haunt the old shop on the High Street…

Emma Dickson gave up her high-flying career to live in Liza’s cottage, but as Halloween approaches, visions of a terrible past are driving her to madness. In despair, Emma turns to the local rector for help, but he, too, is in the grip of something inexplicably dangerous…

too many characters to keep a track, I ‘lost the plot’ especially when listening in bed

book had me gripped from the start to the very end with some great characters and antics within the book. This is a new author for me and I'm going to buy all of her books now she's that good. The narrator was very good at using different voices for the characters.

I have listened to many Barbara Erskine's books and although I did enjoy this one it's not as good as to the previous fantastic stories.

Bit of a disappointing ending as not all the characters stories were finished.

Enjoyed but not the best
