An interesting look at life in Manhattan during the mid/late-17th century, plus the addition of a boogeyman of sorts. Macabre due to the nature of the evil, the overarching story is interesting and enjoyable.
Not one I'd recommend widely as the subject matter depicts the brutal killing of small children. So, not one for anyone too sensitive. But anyone looking for a decent horror story mixed with a quasi-historical fiction tale would enjoy this.

For the most part, I really enjoyed this book. I easily followed the POV changes and thought the author handled that cleverly. My only issue was the ending. I didn't feel like it was enough of a payout for the reader who, by that point, is overly invested in the title character and the tribulations of her life. Regardless, very well-written and an interesting, intriguing read.
