The Werewolf of Bamberg is the fifth book in Hangman’s Daughter, the million-copy bestselling series.

In 1668, hangman Jakob Kuisl, his daughter Magdalena, and her husband Simon travel to the town of Bamberg. But what was planned as a family vacation soon becomes a nightmare: a murderer in Bamberg is leaving the severed limbs of victims in the trash outside the city. When rumors quickly spread that the deaths are the work of a werewolf, Jakob must prove the superstition wrong and embarks on a search for the “devil of Bamberg.”

Critic reviews

“Pötzsch effectively conjures up an atmosphere of claustrophobia and paranoia in seventeenth-century Germany in his fifth whodunit featuring the Kuisl family...The tension, as the Kuisl family finds itself in the midst of the hunt, is palpable, leading to a cleverly clued solution.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“The setup is delicious...Good fun overall.” —Kirkus Reviews

I am absolutely hooked to this series of books by Oliver Pötzsch. The characters are so well developed, and as a reader find myself completely invested in them. The plot had great depth and pace kept surprising me throughout. I also love the narration by Grover Gardener, he vocally depicts exactly how I'd imagined Jakob to sound. I whole heartedly recommend this book, in both written and audio. I'm not going to go into writing a break down of the story overview...take a chance, and just read it/listen to it yourself, and I really hope you love it as much as I have come to.

Hooked!

The Hangman's Daughter series never fails to please. I've read almost all of them and I love all the grotesque aspects and complicated but adorable characters. Well written, perfectly narrated.

Always entertaining and educational
