When I saw the word witch, I was a little dubious, but I needn't have worried. The Witch Tree is a great thriller, with a lot of twists and turns. It's a riveting read and very well written. It had me on the edge of my seat.Anna Denning is a genealogist; she delivers some work she has done for a client, only to find the client is dead...murdered. Anna finds herself a suspect and so begins her desperate attempt to prove her innocence and save her reputation and genealogy business.The author has a great talent for description; I could feel the cold...see the snow covered landscape. I almost found myself trembling along with Anna as she bravely faced her enemy the witch Darlene. The woman was not so much a witch, more a woman so filled with hate, that it empowered her.I loved Anna's strength and integrity. Her dogged perseverance, and the way her faith which had been smothered by the death of her beloved husband Sean, slowly began to surface, giving her the courage to fight her enemies and embrace her life.If this is Karin Kaufman's debut novel, then I can't wait to read her future books!
