Witch Finder is a lovely, little book that you can read anywhere. It is
pleasant, easy to scan and yet intriguing enough to make you want
more and turn that one page further.
It's
full of evocative Victorian England, both in places, especially
industrial London and in describing how people related to each other.
Through these very visual in period style description we gleam in the
huge disparity between classes not only the rich and the poor but
also men and women.
We
can feel the contrasts filling in the story, fuelling the evolving
drama, of hard extremes somehow looking alike and opposites
attracting hearts that shouldn't have ever bet together.
I
gave it three out of five stars because somehow I expected a bit more and not
always the obvious. But on the whole it is a perfectly light,
accessible read at any hour of the day with a dazzling cover front
picture.
