Bloomsbury Presents The Coven by Graham Masterton, read by Emma Gregory.

They say the girls were witches. But Beatrice Scarlet, the apothecary's daughter, is sure they were innocent victims...

London, 1758:

Beatrice Scarlet, the apothecary's daughter, has found a position at St Mary Magdalene's Refuge for fallen women. The charity is supported by a wealthy merchant who offers the most promising girls steady work in his factory. But when seven girls go missing, Beatrice is uneasy.

Their would-be benefactor claims they were a coven of witches, beholden only to Satan and his demonic misdeeds. But Beatrice is convinced something much darker than witchcraft is at play...©2017 Graham Masterton (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Historical Mystery Thriller & Suspense Witchcraft Magic Scary Magic Users

Critic reviews

Fans of Masterton's unflinching Katie Maguire det-fic [...] may wish to venture into the past with the author, where his craft as a bestselling horror writer is given freer rein
[Scarlet Widow and The Coven] are amazing mystery thrillers that will have you hooked from page 1
Highlights the conflict between superstition and science which underpinned just about everything three hundred years ago - and also tells a graphic, fast-moving tale with a large element of horror threaded through the battle between good and evil. Beatrice Scarlet is a heroine of her own time who could teach a lesson or two to women of ours

I honestly wasn't sure i was going to enjoy this book, even though I absolutely love the author and have listened to all his book but im so glad I gave it a chance as it ended up being one of my favourite storylines ever!! Now don't get me wrong parts of the book require you to have a very strong stomach but you got to remember that back in those times things happened that we could never even imagine and the way people thought and acted are polar opposite to how we do today. I know that some parts of the storyline may have been exaggerated slightly but the unfortunate thing is their lives were unimaginably difficult. Saying that there are so many wonderful characters and so many lovely, sweet bits too. I really hope and pray that we will get to hear from Scarlet, Noah & Florence again VERY soon. Thank you Graham for another enjoyable masterpiece with more twists and turns than you can shake a stick at.
