The OrphanMaster  -  Jean Zimmerman
                 
                Historical Fiction.

Historical fiction and a mystery all in one book.
The time is 1663.  The place is Dutch Manhatten.

Dutch inhabitants live in the part of New York that is now Manhatten.  The English "Crown" have sent of a spy to see if they can take it over from the Dutch.  They is some local Indian lore about a scary monster and then we have the sick man who is capturing the orphans and then they disappear.  Is it the Indian monster or the orphanmaster who is the evil one. Or is it someone else.  I enjoyed reading about the history of 1663, but the mystery part was very disturbing!!!!

Not a favorite book of mine!
