Enjoyable but would have benefited from editing to tighten up the writing, shortening the book and eliminating some of the repetitive phrases. (

3 1/2 Stars. This is another book in the Hangmans daughter tales. The author is descendant of that particular Hangmans dynasty and a lot of information he obtained from family documents. When i first read about the sequel to be released in the USA I was thrilled since i tremendously enjoyed the first book. The author is, at times, very descriptive of surroundings. If you have ever been to Bavaria in Germany or seen pictures, you can imagine the places the author takes you. I hope that there will be a sequel in the future. I can only recommend reading the first book [b:The Hangman's Daughter|10846479|The Hangman's Daughter|Oliver Potzsch|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327985944s/10846479.jpg|14381730]. Don't get me wrong, the second novel is totally stand alone, but you are missing out on a lot interesting information about the hangman and their status in the society.

Epigraph

“We delight in marvellous things. One proof of that is that everyone embellishes somewhat when telling a story in the assumption he is pleasing his listener.” —ARISTOTLE, Poetics, XXIV

Dedication

For my grandmother, the matriarch of our family, and for my mother, who still tells the best stories

First words

When the parish priest Andrea Koppmeyer pressed the last stone into place and sealed the opening with lime and mortar, he had just four hours to live.
