All of the books in theKilling” series are good books, but I am thankful that I borrowed this one from the library rather than purchasing it. Like the other reviews have stated, this book only spends 50% of its pages discussing the Salem witch trials or other European witch trials that proceeded it. As of this review writing, it is the latest book in the series and it really feels like they wanted to make the book longer by just throwing in extra irrelevant material. While not a disappointing read per se, there are many other books on the subject that go more in depth and give greater levels of historical detail.
