Publisher's summary

Before Salem, there was Manningtree.

The present.

Something sinister lurks in quiet suburbia. A paranormal team investigates poltergeist activity terrorizing one family in the unassuming Essex town of Manningtree. As night falls, a nightmare awaits them; whatever the motive, it is personal.

The past.

England is rife with civil war. Life is cheap and death trivial. Though, for the common man, another war rages. It spreads like wildfire, preying on the weak. God-fearing folk employ the skills of one man, the Witchfinder. His success speaks of a talent to seek out and rid the countryside of witches, the Devil's whores.

Lies and persecution are never forgotten. Welcome to the nightmare. Welcome to Manningtree.

The Witchfinder General

Matthew Hopkins, the Witchfinder General, was a real person back in the 1640’s who was the judge and executioner that sent up to 230 people to their death in just a couple of years. The meat of this book is not nonfiction but it very well could be. This feels like such a large story for such a short book. Women are persecuted for such crimes as trying to cure a child’s fever. Guilt and execution are inevitable unless they give up the names of other witches.
However, the dead do not stay in the past. Angry spirits of some women come back in the modern time to drive out the living as paranormal investigators try to help the spirit crossover.
Becky Wright has left the names of the so called witches out, being respectful and knowing that the accusations are fabricated. While not having names did get a little confusing, it was honorable of her to do that. What these women went through was a disgusting display of masculine power that churned my insides while I read it. I really wanted to jump into the book and kick all of these guys in the round tables.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
