Witch Hunt is a suspenseful mystery that takes place in Mystic, Massachusetts, just a stone's throw from Salem. Women are being murdered and each victim appears to have ties to witchcraft. Local detective Nathan Perry takes the case, pairs with Mac, a PI hired by one of the victim's families, and takes a deep dive into the world of witchcraft.
I really enjoyed Witch Hunt. Nathan's character is familiar with witchcraft in the sense he knows the history of Salem and Mystic. When he takes on the case of the murdered women, in order to track down a killer, Nathan needs to know much more than that. As he ventures into the unknown, he's surprised to learn the hierarchy of the coven, and even more surprised about some of the coven's members. He also learns more about one of the victim's families and romantic partners.
As Nathan's suspect list continued to grow, I found it hard to disagree with his logic behind each person's suspected motives. The author wove a twisted tale with excellent characters, and a murder mystery difficult to unravel. The ending surprised me - and that's exactly what a good author is supposed to do to their readers.
