About this listen

A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick

'Chilling and beautifully written … C.J. Cooke's finest novel yet' Emilia Hart

'A spellbinding thriller' Scots Magazine

Four hundred years separate them.

One book binds them.

Glasgow 2024: Clem waits by her daughter’s hospital bed. Erin was found on an idyllic beach in Fynhallow Bay, Orkney, with catastrophic burns and only one memory: her name is Nyx.

But how did she get these burns? And how did her boyfriend end up burned alive?

Orkney 1594: accused of witchcraft, Alison Balfour awaits trial. The punishment? To be burned alive.

Separated by four hundred years but bound by the Book of Witching, two women stand imperilled. Can they unlock a centuries-old mystery? And will Fynhallow Bay give up its secrets before someone else dies?

Great listen; you’ll enjoy it.

If this were a paper book, I’d call it a page turner. There were so many twists and surprises, I was kept on my toes. The narrator is a delight! I’m going to look for more content from both writer and narrator.

Both timelines felt real and very grounded. The themes still resonate today as we deal with the rise of the neo patriarchy. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Absolutely loved this one. C.J. Cook has such an incredible ability to make you want to jump into her books to fight for her characters. In addition, Paula Masterton narration is filled with life and personality. She may be my favorite narrator of all time. I would very much recommend The Book of Witching.

Another Beautiful work from C.J. Cooke
