"The Traitor's Wife" is the prequel to "The Heretic's Daughter, and I believe, the better written of the two.
This is wonderful historical fiction of one of the worst periods of American history with the Salem Witch Trials. Both books tell about the lifes of Martha and Thomas Carrier. It is also romantic and a thriller. Thomas' life before he met Martha was as a Welsh soldier who rode with Oliver Cromwell at one time, and eventually became an executor of a king.

Absolutely fabulous. One of my top 5 books of all time! You have to read HERETIC'S DAUGHTER first, this while is a pre-quel, it comes second. Martha grew on me through out DAUGHTER, but I did not ever fully like or respect her, WIFE, however, answered all my questions and I could nearly feel Martha's spine straighten when her father tells her he didn't raise her to go along but to be a person "to be reckoned with" . LOVED IT!
