An addictive small town mystery thriller with a killer twist

For a hundred years, the residents of a rural Welsh village have been hiding the truth. Now, a newcomer has started digging around, uncovering more than just buried secrets. Retired detective, Graham Williams, has moved to Bethgelert for a fresh start, determined to put the horrors of last year behind him. He has seen his fair share of disturbing scenes, but nothing prepares him for what he sees hanging in the gnarly old tree outside his front window.

Only one man can help him uncover the truth ...

Stephen Mallow has come a long way since he helped solve the mystery of Cherry Hollow. When his old nemesis calls and asks for help, he jumps in the car, ignoring the pain in his head and the hole in his heart. He’s ready to take on another weird and creepy small town mystery.

These two unlikely allies, whose main form of communication is bickering, start to work together to dig up the disturbing secrets of ‘The Hanging Tree’, but they soon realise there’s more to the story than they first thought.

A teenage girl is missing. The town butcher isn’t telling them everything. The tree seems to be speaking to Stephen ...

And someone is watching their every move ...

From Jessica Huntley, award-winning and best-selling author of ‘Jinx’ and ‘Horrible Husbands’, comes ‘The Hanging Tree’, a brand-new twisted thriller, perfect for fans of Claire Mackintosh, Lisa Jewell and Louise Jensen.

First book I have read/listened to of this author and I wasn’t disappointed. A family curse affecting the whole town, a retired detective, and a neurodivergent journalist, who could ask for more. Will this duo be able to learn the truth and break the curse or will the town bring them to their knees? I highly recommend this book and love how well the journalist character was described not just on the outside but how his mind worked.

Audiobook review: The narration was very good. I enjoyed her voice, it was pleasant and full of emotions throughout.

Story review:
The story was entertaining. It had dual timelines along with a historical event haunting current times in a small village. The plot flowed well with a few twists making me doubt some of my assumptions. I loved the ending.

This book is definitely a page turning thriller. It had me hanging.......on the edge of my seat throughout. Interesting characters. A town and a tree with 100 year plus history. Murder. Pranks. Abuse. Mental issues. I cried happy tears. I cried sad tears. Loved the story.

Candace Fitzgerald is the voice of this series. She presents this story wonderfully. She has a pleasant voice along with qwerty voices to add variety. She gets 5 stars, as well.
