Reader Reviews
I normally don't like books like this, especially books that pass themselves of as scholarly. However, I've always been interested in the Salem Witch Trials, and Starkey's "Devil in Massachusetts" is definitely not to be overlooked. This may not be the best, or the most thorough account of the trials, but if you're looking for the basics, as well as a little background info, "Devil" provides a very intriguing and interesting read. At times, Starkey's wording and verbosity seem a little exhaustive and can be overlooked. But for the brunt of it, Starkey provides enough information to justly conclude what did happen in Salem, what caused it, and the events that followed. Be scholarly, verbose reads your cup of tea or not, if you're looking for some great, solid information on the bleakest event of undemocratic justice ever to stain American history, Marion Starkey's "Devil in Mass." will definitely shed some reason and light on the "bubble, bubble, toil and trouble" of the Salem Witch Trials.
