’Entertaining as always.'
A Little Laughter. A Little Mayhem. A Little MURDER…
‘The original crossroads used to run by here,’ Dr Sam Dally told Rafferty. ‘Legend has it that this was the original Hanging Tree.’
When Inspector Rafferty first hears the report that a bound and hooded body has been seen hanging from a tree in Dedman Wood, he dismisses it as a schoolboy hoax. But his anxiety levels take a hike when the witness turns out to be a respectable local magistrate, who identifies the corpse as Maurice Smith, a man once accused of four child rapes. Thrown out on a legal technicality, Smith’s case had become a cause-célèbre which had generated much ill-feeling within the community. And now Smith seems to have disappeared…
Then the body turns up again in the woods. Rafferty & Llewellyn find threatening letters in Smith’s flat—could there be a self-appointed executioner at work, meting out his own form of justice on the legendary Hanging Tree?
’I’m enjoying this series. Good characters, unpredictable plot and good writing.'
