 Back in England the midwife wasn't scorned she was admired, except by murderers
Midwife's Tales #2 Read Kindle PreviewIt is August, 1645, one year since York fell into Puritan hands. As the city suffers through a brutal summer heat, Bridget Hodgson and Martha Hawkins are drawn into a murder investigation more frightening than their last. In order to appease Godβs wrathβand end the heat-waveβthe cityβs overlords have launched a brutal campaign to whip the cityβs sinners into godliness. But for someone in York, this Β is not enough. First a prostitute and her client are found stabbed to death, then a pair of adulterers are beaten and strangled. Yorkβs sinners have been targeted for execution. Bridget and Marthaβassisted once again by Will, Bridgetβs good-hearted nephewβrace to find the killer even as he adds more bodies to his tally. The list of suspects is long: Hezekiah Ward, a fire and brimstone preacher new to York; Wardβs son, Praise-God, whose intensity mirrors his fatherβs; John Stubb, one of Wardβs fanatic followers, whose taste for blood may not have been sated by his time in Parliamentβs armies. Or could the killer be closer to home? Willβs brother Joseph is no stranger to death, and he shares the Wardsβ dreams of driving sin from the city. To find the killer, Bridget, Martha, and Will must uncover the cityβs most secret sins, and hope against hope that the killer does not turn his attention in their direction, in The Harlot's Tale by Sam Thomas.
