No one escapes suspicion when a famine afflicts a medieval German village. Eager to identify a scapegoat, the starving residents of Tierkinddorf fall under the spell of an itinerant friar claiming to be able to extract confessions of witchcraft from transgressors. When elderly Güde Müller begins to experience blackouts and confusing visions, her daughter-in-law Irmeltrud seizes the opportunity to rid herself of the burden of her husband's mother. In an ironic twist, the villagers turn not only on Güde but on Irmeltrud as well.

I liked this one, the story is set in Germany in the 1500's and the fear of witches an witchcraft runs rampid. Add to that fact that the villagers are starving and you just know no good can happen! A fast and easy read that I would recommend to anyone that enjoys historical fiction.
