This third installment of the Holy Terrors finds Diana cast as Lady Macbeth in rehearsals at a dilapidated old theater where problems of a supernatural appearance are threatening closure. She calls in Alistair to help explain the occurrences. Things escalate and, while Alistair is not convinced it's witchcraft, it's hard to explain otherwise. It all comes to a head when lives are lost. Police can do nothing and it is up to the Holy Terrors to expose the truth. Which Witch is better than the previous installment with better pacing, more involving backstories, and better misdirection leading to a quick, enjoyable read. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

Diana Hunt is playing Lady Macbeth in a possibly cursed production of the Scottish play, destined (or not) to open in a West End theater. Simple pranks are becoming more serious and after an accident involving an exploding cauldron, Diana calls Bishop Alistair Kincaid for help. Diana and “Bish” are the Holy Terrors, a charismatic pair who have solved two previous horror-filled cases. After the two begin to investigate, the dangerous incidents escalate until a cast member is killed. Does someone want to jeopardize this drama? Could it be a producer? A cast member? One of the backstage crew? Or is it a vengeful ghost who wants the theater for himself?

Which Witch is the third in this unique and captivating series. Diana and Alistair share passion for their careers, their work together and each other. While their characters dominate, others are strong and well described especially Jenny, Chris and Mark. The dialogue is snappy and the somewhat seedy theater provides the perfect backdrop for the action. This mystery is an enjoyable quick read with an unexpected conclusion. I cant wait for what comes next! 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Severn House and Simon R. Green for this ARC>

A short Simon Green novel is invariably formulaic. Strong male lead with a strong female partner. Fantastical mystery. Snarky banter. Multi-book series with a connective arc. Several bodies. Well designed red herrings. Nasty bit characters.

I like Green’s formula. It has kept me coming back through several series over many years. This seems to be the third book featuring the holy Terrors, Diana and Bish. I wish I had started at the first book for some background but this mystery about a plagued production of Macbeth is self contained and enjoyable. I will likely go back and read the first two books. Which Witch ? was a satisfying, quick read.

Suffused with trademark humor and light romance lacing occasionally terrifying Suspense, WHICH WITCH? brings Actress Diana and Church of England Bishop Alistair to an antique, long-abandoned London theater, where a new, post-apocalyptic version of Shakespeare's "cursed" Scottish Play is in rehearsal, destined for the big-time West End theater venue. [Imagine Macbeth in Mad Max territory!]
Strange and unsettling happenings disturb the cast and stagehands, and the producers call in Bishop Alistair to join Diana, already in situ as Lady Macbeth. He's barely arrived when events escalate to dangerous, then to fatal, and it almost seems as if otherworldly presences are angered by the presence of the Holy Terrors.

If you enjoy your Horror leavened with many moments on the light side and gentle, subtle flirtation, plus enjoyable, strong, characters, look no further than the Holy Terrors Series.
