‘The number of women my brother Matthew killed, so far as I can reckon it, is one hundred and six…’

THE PAGE-TURNING RICHARD AND JUDY BOOK CLUB BESTSELLER

‘A compelling debut from a gifted storyteller’ Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent

When Alice Hopkins’ husband dies in a tragic accident, she returns to the small Essex town of Manningtree, where her brother Matthew still lives.

But home is no longer a place of safety. Matthew has changed, and there are rumours spreading through the town: whispers of witchcraft, and of a great book, in which he is gathering women’s names.

To what lengths will Matthew’s obsession drive him?
And what choice will Alice make, when she finds herself at the very heart of his plan?

Winner of the HWA Debut Crown Award 2017, and a Spring 2018 Richard and Judy Book Club pick, this beautiful and haunting historical thriller is perfect for fans of Sarah Waters, The Miniaturist and Burial Rites.

‘Vivid and terrifying’ Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train

‘Thumpingly good’ Lucy Mangan

‘A clever, pacey read that blends truth and fiction…what elevates this book above other historical thrillers are the questions that Underdown asks about the nature of power, fear and how easy it is to become complicit in terrible acts’ The Times

‘A chilling, creeping novel with very obvious parallels to more modern forms of witch-hints and misogyny, but is still firmly rooted in an England torn apart by civil war and gripped by religious fervour’ Red

‘A haunting, brooding debut’ Psychologies

‘At once a feminist parable and an old-fashioned, check-twice-under-the-bed thriller’ Patrick Gale

‘A richly told and utterly compelling tale, with shades of Hilary Mantel’ Kate Hamer, author of The Girl in the Red Coat

‘Anyone who liked Cecilia Ekback’s Wolf Winter is going to love this’ Natasha Pulley, author of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street

‘Beth Underdown grips us from the outset and won’t let go…at once a feminist parable and an old-fashioned, check-twice-under-the-bed thriller’ Patrick Gale, author of Notes from an Exhibition

‘A tense, surprising and elegantly-crafted novel’ Ian McGuire, author of The North Water

‘Beth Underdown cleverly creates a compelling atmosphere of dread and claustrophobia… Even from the distance of nearly four hundred years, her Matthew Hopkins is a genuinely frightening monster’ Kate Riordan

‘Superb: dark, terrifying and utterly compelling’ Tracy Borman

‘A novel for our times. Beth Underdown’s The Witchfinder’s Sister explores another time and another place to lay bare the visceral horror of what a witch hunt truly is’ New York Times Book Review

‘Entertaining and thought-provoking, with a valuable message for our own times’ Washington Post

All our books are carefully selected and are in great re-readable condition. They are the kind of books we would love to receive ourselves so you can confidently gift them knowing they are exactly as described. We use actual photos of each book in our listings so you know what you are buying. All books are priced the same, as we believe the value of a book is not in the condition of its cover, but the content of its pages.

CONDITION GUIDE
Excellent– We’re not even sure if it has even been read it looks that good. Great for gifting, but a sad state for a pre-loved book. These books deserve to be read!!
Great – A book that has been read but treated with care.
Loved – These books have been well read and enjoyed maybe more than once. Cover may be dog-eared or corners of pages have been bent.
Vintage – They may be musty, but that’s their charm. There may be evidence of the previous owners (inscriptions in the cover, the odd marking etc), it’s their history that makes them more precious, its all part of their narrative. These books are old and show it – and we love them. Open the cover and breathe it all in.
