love series

I have listened to all his series and look forward to more books to listen too. I highly recommend listening to these. I can't wait for his next story.

Thoroughly Entertaining & Historically Correct!

Interesting murder mystery based on true stories, as the author explains at the end.
There were some things that seemed off, as when one of the characters wished another to have a nice rest of their day doing... (somewhat paraphrased here) which surprised me, but looked it up & there's actually IS nothing new under the sun!
Also in looking this up, found historical references to one of the actual executioners of Bamberg Germany in the Middle Ages. Fun!!!

History is violent...

..and this story, while fiction, relates that inhumanity to one's neighbors & family due to the superstitions that were all too prevalent in those fearful days.
Good story, well told, I was surprised by ending.
I'm going to check out his other books.

great storytelling

having grown up in Bamberg, I enjoyed this book solely on its location. but the story was suspenseful, entertaining and I couldn't wait to find out how this book ended. also, the historical back frond of the story was highly interesting. after finishing this book I ordered the other 4 books in the hangman s daughter series on CD so that I can listen to it on my daily drive to work!

Another solid book!

Another solid book with looks of suspenseful plot twists and turns! Also enjoyed the on-going storyline and character development of the family!

yet another great hangman's daughter novel

always great! hope he writes more. I have two left in the series and cannot put them down, almost like binge watching your favorite show!

Good series

I have really liked all the books in this series. I look forward to more from this author.

A pleasure being wrong

I thought 4 different people were the villain. It was great to realize that I was wrong each time, and more of a pleasure to finally put the story together with the correct one. But I will say that I always knew what was wrong with the bishop. It's terrible that he technically got what he wanted.

Another fine book in the series.

So happy to find this great author. While not quite up to the level of the previous book in the series it is by far great reading. just slightly predictable in some parts.

Love this series

This was another great story in this series by Oliver Potzsch. It was book 5 and I hope there are more to come. I love the characters and writing style. I enjoy historical novels with a sense of mystery. In this particular time period, people were very superstitious. Whenever I read one of this author's novels, I chuckle to myself several times throughout because this author always describes bad smells; such as the smell of feces, rat droppings, and rotting garbage or flesh. I read the audio version of this book and the narrator is one of my favorites. It was read by Grover Gardner. I love his accents & voices. He adds so much to an already good story.
