Reviews for The Witch´s Trinity
A gripping, well-told story of faith and truth.
Khaled Hosseini, bestselling author of The Kite Runner
Gripping debut
Elle
This is a stunning debut... Viscerally scary, gripping and written in beautiful, sparse prose, it's a seriously good read
Sainsbury's magazine
Mailman generates a real sense of dread for Gude's fate . . . One of Mailman's ancestors was accused of witchcraft in 1600s New England, which adds piquancy to the plot . . . Mailman creditably forces the pace, giving the snouty friar pride of place in an unusual denouement.

Not for the faint-hearted, Mailman ratchets up the tension and the images of torture as Gude fights to escape an horrendous fate. Gripping.
