"Lost Book of Salem" is published in the US under the title "The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane". While clearing out her grandmother's cottage for sale, Connie Goodwin finds a parchment inscribed with the name Deliverance Dane. And so begins the hunt to uncover the woman behind the name, a hunt that takes her back to Salem in 1692 ...and the infamous witchcraft trials. But nothing is entirely as it seems and when Connie unearths the existence of Deliverance's spell book, the Physick Book, the situation takes on a menacing edge as interested parties reveal their desperation to find this precious artefact at any cost. What secrets does the Physick Book contain? What magic is scrawled across its parchment pages? Connie must race to answer these questions - and reveal the truth about Salem's women - before an ancient family curse once more fulfils its dark and devastating prophecy.

Good book,

This review is from: The Lost Book of Salem (Paperback)
The Lost Book of Salem was a very interesting book that ties the Salem Witch trials to the present time. It was also extremely fascinating to learn that the author herself was related to someone from the Witch Trials. It is a great book to read if you are interested in the Witch Trials and a little bit of magic.

The Lost Book of Salem,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Lost Book of Salem (Paperback)
Like The Ghost Lady previously wrote, I was very unpleasantly surprised to find this is the same book as her Deliverance Dane book, just with a different name. It seems this is the UK version. I am extremely unhappy with Amazon for allowing this. I just wish Ghost Lady's review had been only a few days sooner so I could have seen it before ordering this book. Huge thumbs down for Amazon on this purchase. Amazon should be the one informing the public about this title.

Same book, different title?,
By The Ghost Lady "The Ghost Lady" (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lost Book of Salem (Paperback)
I had already bought Ms. Howe's "The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane" and thoroughly enjoyed it. so when I saw this title I thought it would be a continuation of the story or perhaps a prequel to the "Physick Book." Imagine my surprise when, after receiving "The Lost Book of Salem," I discovered that it is the exact same book (The Physick Book . . . ) but with a different title! This fact wasn't mentioned on any site that I could find where the book was offered for sale..Very disappointing. I could have bought another of Ms. Howe's books (or another author's works) instead of duplicating what I already had. I would give the story 5 stars but the questionable practice of offering the same book under two different titles, zero!
