About the author

Dana Donovan grew up in New England where folklore and superstitions can mold a town’s history as much as its people. He exploits that phenomenon in all his books, perpetuating the enigma of small town life and the belief in all that dies is not dead.

Read this 1 in one night

Would recommend the whole series, so far love them all she writes a story you just have to keep reading

I enjoyed the way the author set up this book, with different chapters each being from the POV of a different character. Maybe I'm getting to know the main characters better, thus becoming more invested in them, or maybe the author is just getting better. I really enjoyed this book (book 4 of the series).

If you enjoy paranormal mystery novels or have an interest in witchcraft, this series might be of interest to you.

Another cracker..I'm starting to think of Tony Marcella and Lilleth as friends now! Yet again, they find themselves in a delicate and dangerous situation,this time, Lilleth is being targeted by a 15th Century Witch Hunter and their adventure takes them to Salem ....don't want to say too much as I hate discovering too much of a plot in a review, except that this, the 4th of the "Witchy Series" as I call it, does not disappoint!

Bones of a Witch, the fourth in a series of Detective Marcella mysteries, shines a light on one of America’s darkest hours, the Salem witch trials, when a simple accusation could get a girl hanged. But as Lilith learns, history is always pending, and the art of witch hunting never dies.

Although I enjoyed the plotline I felt that the writing style took something away from it all. So far this has made it my least favourite book in the series.

Loved it! A good read, lots of twists, Tony gets a bit too ‘peevish’ at times with Spinelli, but it certainly humanizes him. The ending was great (won’t spoil it for you); though Lilith is definitely a character.

Lilith goes feral.

This is the fourth book in the series and I believe it to be the best one yet. We're introduced to A new character that's going to be very interesting
