My review -
There
are wicked things afoot in Letho. An old woman, allegedly a witch, has been
found murdered then a young maid from the Letho household goes missing. When
another lady disappears, Charles Murray is hard pressed to know what's going
on. His wife is heavily pregnant and talk of witches is rife, spreading through
the area like fire through dry tinder and upsetting her Ladyship.
This
book contains the usual kind of mystery which the level-headed Murray copes
with well, but it is all shot through with uneasy sightings, an unchancy mirror
and the cry of 'Burn the witch'. It’s one of the best Murray of Letho stories,
I think, and I enjoyed this one very much indeed.
