Everyone knows Wizard of Oz, but who knows what happens afterwards? This novel explores a universe in which Dorthy is on trial for the murder of a local crone, fitting the description of the late wicked witch (who Dorthy claimed to have accidentally killed) all too well. A slow-paced, but a well fleshed out historical mystery.
