My review of Witch Trial by Harriet Tyce #BookSky 💙📚

josbookblog.co.ukWitch Trial by Harriet TyceI love a courtroom drama, and the case presented here is a particularly compelling one as we see two young women, Eliza and Isobel, accused of murdering their friend, Christian. It’s also a highly unusual case. Set in the present day, the claims and accusations of witchcraft come as a surprise. And while it’s easy to dismiss those claims as the somewhat dark but harmless interest of teenagers, a young woman has died, apparently scared to death.

My monthly wrap up post for September! 💙📚

josbookblog.co.ukThe month that was… September 2026Another busy month, but I did actually find my reading mojo this month, helped along by some relaxing time away. My OH and I spent a weekend in Liverpool, a city I've not visited previously. While neither of us are Beatles fans, it did feel rude to visit and not do some Beatles-related sightseeing, so we took a Magical Mystery Tour that took in key sights such as Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, and some of the key locations to the band members.
