The Hanging Committee – Book Three

‘Several minutes later, four hooded figures stood in silence as they watched the corpse. Divested of its redundant bonds and gag, it hung from the balustrade, the body twitching and swinging in its death throes’

A spate of seemingly unrelated murders shatters the peace and tranquility of Wisstingham village as the baffled Chief Inspector Stone and his team strive to discover motives and murderers.

Meanwhile, at Wisstingham Hall, Commander Selwyn Fitzgerald’s ever-thwarted search for the family treasure barely gains momentum before his beloved fiance, ex-mayor Miriam, suffers a spate of attempts on her life.

This leaves the formidable librarian Amanda to strive alone in trying to organise Wisstingham’s first arts and crafts festival, to coincide with the public opening of the Hall. To add to her woes, the arrival of a vengeful Frenchman sparks off even more chaos and death.

Life for Amanda would be so much less stressful if fiance Sebastian would recover from his depressive episode and the various festival committee members didn’t stop disappearing or dying horribly.

As a tangled web of deceit, intrigue and revenge threatens to engulf the Hall’s residents, there appears to be no final escape for Amanda and Sebastian.
