Blood Moon

by Charles K. Godfrey

This modern-day horror novel is set in southern Pennsylvania, where Arson Investigator Finch Kendrick and Police Detective Pete Thomson investigate a series of murders. At first, the murders appear to be copycat killings of witchcraft-related murders committed decades before. As Finch and Pete dig deeper, however, they realize that something far more sinister is afoot. Their search for the killers will take them down a dark path where the boundaries of reality become blurred and the belief in the supernatural becomes all too real, a path that will change both men’s lives forever . . .

Reviews

I really loved this compelling pageturner. It starts with a manhunt for a ritualistic killing and turns into defeating a resurrected witch trying to bring back Satan to earth. Especially the second part of this novel is extremely scary and nailbiting. You definitely don't want to meet up with Nellie Noll the witch or Jon Stiles the chief of the covenant. The action is fast paced, it's hard but not overdone and the supernatural scenes are as they should be. I also love the research on witches and demons the author has done. A clear recommendation in my opinion. You won't regret this witch hunt!

Best horror mystery that I've read this year. And to think this is the 91st anniversary of the murder. He was killed at midnight Thanksgiving Eve. This book is like a sequel to the real murder. It was inspired by the true event.
