Resumen del Editor

The Witch in the Well is a dark Norwegian thriller from Camilla Bruce, author of You Let Me In.

When two former friends reunite after decades apart, their grudges, flawed ambitions, and shared obsession swirl into an all-too-real echo of a terrible town legend.

Centuries ago, beautiful young Ilsbeth Clark was accused of witchcraft after several children disappeared. Her acquittal did nothing to stop her fellow townsfolk from drowning her in the well where the missing children were last seen.

When author and social media influencer Elena returns to the summer paradise of her youth to get her family's manor house ready to sell, the last thing she expected was connecting with—and feeling inspired to write about—Ilsbeth’s infamous spirit. The very historical figure that her ex-childhood friend, Cathy, has been diligently researching and writing about for years.

What begins as a fiercely competitive sense of ownership over Ilsbeth and her story soon turns both women’s worlds into something more haunted and dangerous than they could ever imagine.

Mostly good

This story started out strong and I really thought it would grab me , which it did until the end, which sadly I seemed to have lost the plot. I wished the author had explained the papers that were found. I mean mystery is good, but this didn’t quite do it. I did like the narrator.

The Witch in the Well

Plot was intriguing and interesting twist with modern day witch tale. Characters developed well through their writings/journaling. Loved the history and modern entwined.

to all over the place

I loved the idea of the story. and I followed it but it was a little confusing at time 2nd times the charm lol ♡

Whoa

This was such an in-depth and harrowing story. I saw myself in each one of the characters. Even the beast. I think it’s sad commentary on the treatment of women throughout the centuries and the things that we do to survive and carry-on. This was a really really good book.

Nice thriller

This book is very intriguing and has many different perspectives to it which is enjoyable.
Elements are “creepy” but look else where if you’re looking for horror

Very good book!

Loved

Wow. This was a super interesting read (listen.) Narrators we’re solid. Storyline was intriguing, even if both the mains were hard to relate to. I really did enjoy it.

Expected creepy witch thriller got decent Gothic Horror

Performances were great..so glad they had multiple narrators as it really helped distinguish the different characters.
The story was good though felt a little dull in the middle. Ending definitely picked up though. I thought the end wrapped things up pretty well while also leaving you questioning the overall sanity of certain characters. This felt very much akin to a classic gothic horror novel then a modern horror thriller as it was very emotion and relationship driven with elements of the supernatural so I felt the scares and horror were sorely missed. A good story nonetheless but wish there was just a bit more 'meat on the bones'.. pun intended...

Pretty good

This house had the potential for a good story: a creepy old house, a haunted well, dark forests…but it lost me at the end.

Loved the performance! It brought the story so much life!

This story was eerily fabulous! I loved the intrigue that was present and it kept you guessing even after the end!

Terrible

This story is so bad. I was hoping it would take a different turn and never did. A bunch of bored and self righteous women trying to make a stance….terrible.
