Description

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 Lizas 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

Perfect for fans of Christina Courtenay, Nicola Cornick and Elizabeth Chadwick!
