BUT the book is terrific. It is based on the author's ancestors, who were a dynasty of hangmen.

The story is a murder mystery involving witch trials, torture, and compassion and love. It is a meaty book, 448 pages for the paperback. I begrudged having to put it down to eat or sleep. The story is gripping, and the history comes alive.

I recommend this book to everyone.
Hangman's Daughter looks great. Thanks for the tip.
