The Witchfinder's Sister by Beth Underdown - Penguin Books Australia

Search Penguin Random House

The number of women my brother Matthew killed, so far as I can reckon it, is one hundred and six . . .

1645. When Alice Hopkins' husband dies in a tragic accident, she returns to the small Essex town of Manningtree, where her brother Matthew still lives.

But home is no longer a place of safety.

Matthew has changed, and there are rumours spreading through the town: whispers of witchcraft, and of a great book, in which he is gathering women's names.

To what lengths will Matthew's obsession drive him?
And what choice will Alice make, when she finds herself at the very heart of his plan?
