Reviews
Praise for the Hangman's Daughter series "Swift and sure, compelling as any conspiracy theory, persuasive as any spasm of paranoia, The Dark Monk grips you at the base of your skull and doesn't let go." --Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and Out of Oz "Oliver Pötzsch has brought to life the heady smells and tastes, the true reality of an era we've never seen quite like this before. The hangman Jakob and his feisty daughter Magdalena are characters we will want to root for in many books to come." --Katherine Neville, bestselling author of The Eight and The Magic Circle "I loved every page, character and plot twist of The Hangman's Daughter , an inventive historical novel about a 17th-century hangman's quest to save a witch--from himself." --Scott Turow "Oliver Pötzsch takes readers on a darkly atmospheric visit to seventeenth-century Bavaria in his latest adventure. With enough mystery and intrigue to satisfy those who like gritty historical fiction, The Dark Monk has convincing characters, rip-roaring action, and finely-drawn settings." --Deborah Harkness, author of A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night "In this subtle, meticulously crafted story, every word is a possible clue, and the characters are so engaging that it's impossible not to get involved in trying to help them figure the riddle out." --Oprah.com
