Overview
In the forests of northern Michigan, an ancient oak stands heavy with grief, its twisted limbs hung with shoes like gravestones. For generations the townspeople have shied away from the Raven Tree—and the witch who still walks beneath its branches.
Colwyn Cueny survived the unthinkable as a child. She learned to live with the rumors—to endure being the woman some call child murderer, madwoman, or witch. But when the past refuses to stay buried, surviving may no longer be enough.
When embattled Chicago attorney Marcus Lenarsic arrives, he has one last chance to reclaim his career. Still Marcus refuses to believe his landlady is the monster the town has already condemned. But defending Colwyn means risking more than his reputation. It means battling the secrets buried beneath a decade of fear where every neighbor has already decided Colwyn’s guilt.
The deeper Marcus digs, the more he realizes evil isn’t hidden in the woods. It’s buried under the stories people choose to believe. In a world shifting under the weight of 1960s justice reform, Marcus must untangle truth from legend before the woman he’s come to love becomes the next ghost in the trees.
Blending folklore, psychological suspense, and historical mystery, Burning the Raven Tree is perfect for fans of Kate Morton, William Kent Krueger, and the haunting atmosphere of the classic film Rebecca.
Review
This is a fabulous mix of folklore and mystery!
Colwyn Cueny survived the unthinkable as a child. She learned to live with the rumors—to endure being the woman some call child murderer, madwoman, or witch. But when the past refuses to stay buried, surviving may no longer be enough.
I enjoyed this intricate tale. This story is full of a little bit of everything…folklore, family drama, mystery and a good dose of psychological suspense.
I especially loved Colwyn Cueny. And as the story begins to unfold, you truly do not know where this woman stands. And let me tell you she has been through it. And you need to read this to find out what because that is some major intensity.
This is narrated by Abigail Reno. I started researching her right away. I don’t think I have ever listened to one of her narrated books, but I will be on the lookout from now on.
Need a twisted tale to keep you guessing… THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this for a honest review.
