"The Witch in the Well is a dark Norwegian thriller from Camilla Bruce, author of You Let Me In. When two former friends reunite after decades apart, their grudges, flawed ambitions, and shared obsession swirl into an all-too-real echo of a terrible town legend. Centuries ago, beautiful young Ilsbeth Clark was accused of witchcraft after several children disappeared. Her acquittal did nothing to stop her fellow townsfolk from drowning her in the well where the missing children were last seen. When author and social media influencer Elena returns to the summer paradise of her youth to get her family's manor house ready to sell, the last thing she expected was connecting with-and feeling inspired to write about-Ilsbeth's infamous spirit. The very historical figure that her ex-childhood friend, Cathy, has been diligently researching and writing about for years. What begins as a fiercely competitive sense of ownership over Ilsbeth and her story soon turns both women's worlds into something more haunted and dangerous than they could ever imagine"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This is the first Camilla Bruce book I have read. I have to say I'm really disappointed with this one but would try the author again.
This story is told in various formats, journal entries etc. The story also follows young Cathy and Elena, adult Cathy and Elena, and Ilsbeth Clark who was accused of witchcraft centuries ago. Lots of POV in this book. The story has a supernatural element to it too.
I think for me it was the supernatural part that let it down. I love a good horror but this for me just didn't work. At times I was really confused with what was going on. I would have enjoyed the book a lot more without the supernatural part. Had the book stayed on the line of the two women, their rivalry and the flashbacks into the past about the witchcraft that would have made the book more enjoyable.
I feel a little bad giving only two stars as I enjoyed some of the book very much but did feel really disappointed with it too.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the book to review. (
