If you’ve been wanting to read either of The Hangman’s Daughter Books, here’s your chance! Today only, you can get either book for only $.99 on Kindle! I have heard of these books, but I’ll admit that I don’t know anything about them. The description does sound pretty great! I think I’m convinced –
“A brilliantly-researched and exciting story of a formative era of history when witches were hunted and the inquisitors had little belief in their methods beyond their effect in pacifying superstitious townspeople . . . Pötzsch, actually descended from a line of hangmen, delivers a fantastically fast-paced read, rife with details on the social and power structures in the town as well as dichotomy between university medicine and the traditional remedies, which are skillfully communicated through character interactions, particularly that of Magdalena and Simon. The shocking motivations from unlikely players provide for a twist that will leave readers admiring this complex tale from a talented new voice.” —Publishers Weekly
