Mind Well the Witch

In this, her second novel (see Mathilde and Cuthbert: A Novel History), Susan Netteland Gerbi again combines her love of historical research with a wry sense of humor to create a realistic, and slightly warped, glimpse of life in pre-Revolutionary New England. The widow Mindwell Bartlett Thayer, along with a supporting cast of colorful and memorable characters, soon finds herself embroiled in murder, intrigue, and a bit of romance. And if you happen to be looking for a good recipe for roasted toad tea, look no further than Mind Well the Witch.
