The Owl Killers by Karen Maitland

5.0

Having read 'A Company of Liars' I was keen to read this and see if Karen Maitland maintained the tension and plot she showed so well before. I was NOT disappointed. Well written, thoughtful and well thought out, the concept of outsiders, superstition and religion is one that still applies to modern times and it was easy to recognise how we as a society still follow some of the same ways as we always did. It also shows up a fascinating aspect of the Beguines which I had not heard of before despite how big their movement was during the 14th Century.
