Which Witch?

By Simon R. Green
Which Witch? by Simon R. Green digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Talented actress Diana and young bishop Alistair, her partner in crime-solving and supernatural sleuthing, face the terrifying curse of the Scottish Play in this witty, creeptastic paranormal mystery from New York Times bestselling British fantasy author Simon R. Green

Miles away from town or city, and centuries away from civilization, three witches dance around a great brass cauldron, singing songs of horror and hatred. The Crone raises her voice to ask: ‘When shall we three meet again?’ . . . only for the cauldron to emit a thick, poisonous smoke, sending her, and her fellow actresses, fleeing for their lives.

For the director, it’s the last straw. Macbeth is famously a cursed play, but the incident, not the first in a long line of creepy events, makes him wonder if someone – or something – is trying to sabotage the play. The show must go on! But not if the forces of darkness are determined for it not to.

Talented actress Diana Hunt, hired to give her Lady Macbeth, knows just the man to turn to for help: her partner in crime-solving, handsome young bishop Alistair Kincaid, whose help investigating a series of seemingly supernatural murders has earned them the nickname the Holy Terrors. But with evil and black magic wrapping the theatre in darkness, this investigation might cost Alistair and Diana far more than they’re expecting.

The Holy Terrors novels are funny, scary and thoroughly entertaining – perfect for fans of Simon R. Green’s urban fantasy novels, Jim Butcher, Terry Pratchett and Ben Aaronovitch, as well as those who enjoy American Horror Story, The X-Files and murder mysteries with a supernatural twist.

Which Witch? Reviews

3.0
“Which Witch by Simon R. Green, is about a production that has gone sideways with something potentially paranormal affecting everyone involved. It is up to Alistair and Diana, the Holy Terrors, to discover the secrets of the strange events that keep occurring during the production of an infamous tragedy that always comes with the implication of being cursed. But the show must go on! The beginning of this novel sucks you in, and then abruptly rips the rug from underneath you, leaving you excited for what’s to come. I absolutely love how this started and how the fourth wall breaks apart, and this is all before the first chapter even starts! I am a sucker for a good Shakespeare reference and Green does this with ease. The world building is thoughtful and the character pairing makes for an interesting and intriguing story. The conversations run smoothly, with little bits of banter that leaves me chuckling as I go. With the heavy backstory needed, that part can feel a bit sluggish in comparison to the rest of the novel. However, it aligns well with a classic film noir vibe to keep readers engaged. Overall, Which Witch is an intriguing story with engaging twists that leaves readers wanting more! It was full of hilarious moments, mixed with many scenes that had me on the edge of my seat, eager to know what happens next. I will definitely be picking up more of Green’s novels. Thank you to Netgalley, Severn House, and the author for this ARC.”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher. My review is entirely my own. This is the third book in the “Holy Terrors” series about Diana, a famous actress, and Alistair, a Bishop who work together to solve crimes with a supernatural element (that often is not supernatural in origin). Diana is playing Lady Macbeth in a production that seems cursed. She brings in Alistair to help her figure out what is happening, and then, the murders begin. This was a fun, cozy mystery. 3.5 stars.”
