The Fifth Petal by Brunonia Barry

This book was a great read for Halloween time, set in Salem and dealing with witches. Characters from Barry's book The Lace Reader make an appearance. A murder happened years ago where four women were killed. Rose was a suspect then. Present day, Rose is taken into custody for killing a teenage boy. Did she? There is more to this story than meets the idea....history of Salem townspeople past and present comes into play. Written well, this book is a good read. I received a copy of this book from Amazon Vine in exchange for a honest review.

Combining the 1692 Salem witch trials, murders in 1989 and present day fallout from both, Barry weaves a good story
