Just finished the prequel to "The Heretic's Daughter." Kathleen Kent's "The Wolves of Andover" was an excellent read and kept me reading at every available moment. It gave me the background for her first novel and threw in some history which I always enjoy. This novel covered the early days of Martha Carrier prior to her being hanged as a witch in Salem. She was taken into servitude by a cousin and was eventually attracked to a man more than twice her age that worked for the cousin's family. His background was of a former soldier to Cromwell and it was rumored that he beheaded King Charles I. There isn't anything in writing to prove this but it was passed down as family legend for centuries.
