    About this audiobook

    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.

      I enjoyed this quick read today. The dual POVs were a really great way to keep the reader on their toes as the story developed. You never quite felt settled

      It's a story of two women fighting over an old story of the town witch. Neither of the women are likable characters. And you find out right off the bat that one of them is dead from the very beginning so the entire story is just a flashback to fill in the details of how she died. It's incredibly boring. And the two women are played off like opposites of each other, but their differences are pretty surface level so it's difficult to understand whose point of view is who. This was definitely a DNF (did not finish) And I don't think I'll ever be tempted to go back to it.

      I loved the writing, but I hated the story. I couldn't enjoy listening to a story about two middle aged women acting like children.
