书籍介绍

"Judgment of the Witch"The Carolinas, 1699: The citizens of Fount Royal believe a witch has cursed their town with inexplicable tragedies -- and they demand that beautiful widow Rachel Howarth be tried and executed for witchcraft. Presiding over the trial is traveling magistrate Issac Woodward, aided by his astute young clerk, Matthew Corbett. Believing in Rachel's innocence, Matthew will soon confront the true evil at work in Fount Royal.... "Evil Unveiled"After hearing damning testimony, magistrate Woodward sentences the accused witch to death by burning. Desperate to exonerate the woman he has come to love, Matthew begins his own investigation among the townspeople. Piecing together the truth, he has no choice but to vanquish a force more malevolent than witchcraft in order to save his beloved Rachel -- and free Fount Royal from the menace claiming innocent lives.

用户评论
#audiobook#17世紀末美洲英國殖民地的女巫案,感覺太冗長了。。。全無《奇風歲月》裡的靈性,早十幾年大概還能看這種中規中矩的主角養成小說【啥】,聽至17章終於棄。不過讀有聲書的Edoardo Ballerini演繹得非常棒。
三分之二直接跳结果了。边看边骂草泥马结果还真的……主角Aes sedai性格,自以为是,人讨厌,运气好,错误的行为总能得到正确的结果。贪恋美貌相信女巫无罪就真的有内情,偷窥别人隐私正好看到丑恶的一幕,一张正义脸肆意质疑别人,最后还人人对他感恩戴德。法官太可怜,怎么走形式还是觉得年轻人凉薄。
这是所读的Robert MaCammon的第三部小说。十七世纪的英国乡镇,迷信与欺骗,蒙昧与觉醒,法律与巫术,善良与邪恶。 爱不释手。为作者超强的文字功底和入木三分的人物刻画,背景刻画叹服。
