The Hangman's Daughter

My rating: 2.9


This is a historical fiction mystery set in 1660 Germany. The executioner Jakob Kuisl and his mission to save the midwife Martha from a crime that she did not commit. Children are dying with witch’s symbol etched on their back. They blamed the midwife for being a witch and had her arrested and tortured until she admitted that she committed the crime. 



For me, it started off strong and declined steadily from there.  The first chapter was definitely the best.
