Publisher's Summary

Beatrice Scarlet is the apothecary's daughter. She can mix medicines to save lives - but she can't save the lives of her parents. An orphan at just sixteen, Beatrice marries and emigrates to America.

New Hampshire, 1756: In the farming community where Beatrice now lives, pigs are found dead with slices of looking-glass embedded in their mouths. According to scripture this is the work of Satan, but Beatrice suspects the hands of men. She must act quickly to unmask the killer - or become the next victim herself....

Critic Reviews

"A skilfully written and wonderfully unnerving thriller." ( Bookshelf Butterfly).
"Graham Masterton has perfected an eerie start that gets you intrigued right from the get go […] It's so fast-paced and never once misses a beat nor does it ever let-up on the speed." ( Published Moments)

Intriguing to the end

Narrator had a nice smooth voice that was excellent at speaking the different dialects of Britain. The plot was very good, even though some parts were quite evident near the begining, the intriguing twists that brought it all together was well done. I definitely recommend this book and audio.

OMG this was appalling.

Awful. Some things cannot be unheard. This is one of them. Embarrassingly bad. Don't bother.
