Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-18 00:00:00 Albert Tollas Oh, my, winter is back full force--endless ice, snow and scooping. But more than the weather was threatening in January 1951, so was the Korean War and the Communist witch hunt starting in Washington, D.C. The ice storm took down two of the last tall pines in the area and revealed hidden treasure and puzzling documents. John McIntire starts asking questions to try to discover the story behind the find. As per usual, his questions and preliminary solutions spread throughout the St. Adele community and have repercussions with unsuspected consequences. Another layer is peeled back on John's past.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-12-18 00:00:00 Anthony Davis The third in Kathleen Hills mystery series set in 1950's Upper Peninsula, Witch Cradle is perhaps the best yet. The characters are developed further. The tie in with the 1020's Karelia project (also featured in Steve Hamilton's A Stolen Season) added interest. Probably my main quibble was that I found the mystery part rather unsatisfying in its denouement. But I read Hills more for the characters and setting than the actual mystery anyway.
