3.0
But instead of a supernatural suspense, Hour of the Witch is part family drama, part procedural, and part crime solving with a bland (at best) main character whose values reflect the modern era more than Colonial Boston. The setting itself was underutilized and underdeveloped. There is little in the way of rich description or historical context, even though the novel is quite lengthy.
