The Glassmaker’s Wife

The suspect? His
wife, Betsey.

The chief witnesses
against her? A hired girl, Eveline Deal, and the local apothecary, James Logan.
The evidence? Eveline claims she saw Betsey put a pinch of white powder in
Leonard's coffee.

Betsey Reed, a woman
who dabbles in herbal healing, is known about town as a witch. As the gossip
and the circumstantial evidence mount, Betsey finds herself under the shadow of
a trial--and a noose.

A historical crime inspired by the true story of Betsey Reed, for fans of The Trial of Lizzie Borden and The Good Sister, Lee
Martin's latest weaves a tale of a pinch of white powder, a scorched paper, a community
hungry for a villain, and a young girl's first taste of revenge--but above all,
of the contradictions and imperfections of the human heart.
