22 posts | 15 read | 19 to read
The thrilling fifth entry in Oliver Potzsch s bestselling Hangman s Daughter series. In 1668, hangman Jakob Kuisl, his daughter Magdalena, and her husband Simon travel to the town of Bamberg. But what was planned as a family vacation soon becomes a nightmare: a murderer in Bamberg is leaving the severed limbs of victims in the trash outside the city. When rumors quickly spread that the deaths are the work of a werewolf, Jakob must prove the superstition wrong and embarks on a search for the devil of Bamberg. This thrilling fifth entry in Oliver Potzsch s Hangman s Daughter series follows the continuing adventures and mysteries that surround the Kuisl family."

I really liked this. Very interesting. Even more interesting was the brief author‘s note at the end describing the panic surrounding werewolves at the time, not too long after witch trials that had happened. So, in addition to the characters being based on the author‘s ancestors (he descended from the Kuisl executioner family), some of the events that make up the basis of the plot really happened.

Mehso-so

I hate to push the rating of ā€œWerewolfā€ down further given that as a MYSTERY plot it is stupendous. It isn‘t as good as ā€œThe Play of Deathā€ and the latest in the series, ā€œThe Council of Twelve,ā€ is already much better by p. 34. ā€œWerewolfā€ suffers from plodding in the middle. The last few chapters are riveting. A Center Slough is a common problem in series titles. Do editors ever cut books in the middle? #mystery #germany

I always have fun with this series! A bit gruesome and a little unlikely-but still fun!

#InMySoul: I‘m a sassy Bavarian Hangman‘s Daughter. But actually-I am obsessed with Magdalena. She is one of my favorite written characters in one of my favorite historical fiction series. This is from my trip to Bavaria last year. Prost! #InYourSoul #NewYearReads @bookloo @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I have succumbed to several kindle deals recently.... I've bought these 6 in the last 2 weeks. But all were $2.99 or less except the Stephen King one. šŸ˜œ

Also, regarding the book that's tagged in this post- if you like historical fiction i highly recommend The Hangman's Daughter series. The Hangman, Jakob Kuisl, is a real-life ancestor of the author. The stories are great. I've read the first 4- the ones shown here are books 5 & 6!

Alytrue I've really enjoyed the Hangman's Daughter series, too! Have read the first three. 7y

Finished tonight! I'd been so wrapped up in Ove that I kind of put this to the side. I love this series and totally recommend it to any historical fiction lovers! I want to believe I'm like Magdalena, headstrong and adventurous! :) sorry for all the white out and editing- I didn't want to give anything away, but felt this quote was something to share! #historicalfiction #Hangmansdaughter #Germany

Bookzombie Mostly Overdrive. Although my library also has One Click Digital. I like it less than Overdrive because it resets back to the beginning of a chapter each time I open it so I always have to bookmark where I leave off. 8y

I'm hot off a trip to Bavaria (this was taken a week ago on Wednesday!!) my #springcleaningreadathon is starting with finishing this book!!! In case you're wondering, The Hangman's Daughter series takes place in Bavaria. It's amazing! I took this photo on our train, a surprise snow storm came through the THIRD week of April in Germany!! My readathon is focused on my kindle books- so prepare for other photos! #historicalfiction #eurotrip #Germany

JazzFeathers I know. A friend from Munchen sent me a photo of the storm. Just crazy 8y
HotMessJess @JazzFeathers I wish I could upload videos! I have a hilarious 5 second video where my husband and I are walking down the street in the snow and he goes "Jess how's the weather?" And at that exact moment a snowflake landed in my eye and I go, "ITS IN MY EYE" without hesitation! Cracked us up! 8y

A great read. The mystery was satisfying, and it was fun to see the characters in a new setting.

I've just started this. I've the other books in the Hangman's Daughter series, and they were all well-plotted with great characters. And they are fun reads. I need to look for more mysteries in translation. The ones I've read so far have not disappointed.

Desha Awesome! I've got the first one in the series waiting TBR! Glad to hear you have enjoyed them! ā˜ŗļøšŸ‘šŸ»šŸ“šā¤ļø 8y

Hey friends-
Sorry I've been so quiet recently. This girl started grad school back up (as well as working full time for an awesome nonprofit) so reading has been on the back burner :(. But tonight I got in a few chapters and this spoke WAYYYY too true of this book :) happy long weekend friends! Stay safe and read lots #historicalfiction #myjam #longweekendplan

BookswithB I've been wanting to start this series and wasn't sure it was worth it. I have the first 3 I think...your blurb gives me hope! 8y
HotMessJess @BookswithB OMG, START! I am so attached to the characters. The daughter is so sassy and great! A really fun historical fiction read! 8y
BookswithB Cool! I think I'll try to squeeze at least the first one in next month! šŸ‘šŸ¾ 8y

My Saturday morning ritual (until grad school starts back up šŸ˜©) is to not move, unless for food or coffee, until at least noon. One of my personal goals for this morning was to finish 100 pages of a book. My book ADHD is fierce and I finally picked up the 5th book in my familiar Hangman's Daughter series last night. My husband had to go to sleep early and Kindles are perfect for the dark! #historicalfiction #nightreading #bookadhdisreal
