A Book in Review: The Vengeance of the Witch-finder

The Vengeance of the Witch-finder by: John Bellairs completed by: Brad Strickland
fiction: children's, paranormal/Gothic mystery 153 pages
Book count: 3

Yes, this book is by the same person as the last book I read. I saw them at the library the other day and graped both of them. In this one a wizard and his nephew go to England to visit a distant relative and see their ancestral home. While there they learn more about the family member who lived there during the time of King James I as well as Cromwell. He was accused of being a witch and would have lost his life as well as his home if the witch-finder had not mysteriously died. With more digging into the houses history a secret map was found with a unknown space in the house's lawn maze. Inside this spot was a horror that was never meant to be found. Soon the family learns that the witch-finder was truly the evil one durning his life, and has come back to finish what he started in life.
