The Crimson Crown by Heather Walter is an enthralling escape into the world of witchcraft, misogyny and murder. A time of religious burnings, where men smile in their piety as witches/women dance in hot iron shoes.
She was a bit abrasive from word one, however that abrasiveness turned into tenacity. That quality hooked me so hard that I caught myself several times holding my breath, as I was reading.
