How does one tie the burning of a witch in 1600s Massachusetts Bay Colony to ordinary people living their daily lives today? That is what Hayes does in his book MALICE. The spirits from that long ago tragedy still haunt a present day town where the witch was put to death. The one evil spirit is still struggling to bring about it's own justice for the wrongs committed long ago.The story is riveting and very interesting. A little more character development would be interesting and a little more cleaning up in the ending. What do the people think of the serial killer that was living among them all of those years? What of the deputy's family and friends? I just think it needs to be wrapped up in a little neater package.Very good job and well worth the time to read.
