There's some good research here, and much of it is quite interesting. It reads far more neutral than most witch trial recounts, using the descriptions given by the people involved rather than interpreting and imbuing motive on their actions. The downside is that it is quite dry reading - it's essentially a timeline diary. Interesting when the bigger events unfold, but a bit dull inbetween.

Still, for anyone interested in the Salem Witch Trials, I'd recommend it.
