The Hanging Tree (Rafferty & Llewellyn British Mysteries, #4)

'A WONDERFULLY ENTERTAINING READ'. 'The old crossroads used to run by here,' Sam told Rafferty. 'Legend has it that this was the original Hanging Tree.' Who was the hanged man…and why had he disappeared? The murder mystery of 'The Hanging Man' has British Detective Joe Rafferty questioning his belief in justice and his own role in its pursuit. The murdered man had done some terrible things in his life; Rafferty can't shake the belief that perhaps someone had done them all a favour. Rafferty fears he is about to become the Fall Guy. Because he is only too aware that if he fails to find the murderer for reasons of his own, he will also fail as a detective and his moral dilemma will give him no option but to resign. 'CLEVER AND BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS.' THE HANGING TREE is available in both e-book and paper editions. There are eighteen books in the Rafferty & Llewellyn series.

When you add the middle-class, more moral than the Pope intellectual DS Dafyd Llewellyn to the brew the result is murder with plenty of laughs for us and plenty of angst for Rafferty.

A Little Laughter. A Little Mayhem. A Little MURDER... British mystery author Geraldine Evans is a traditionally published author (Macmillan, St Martin's Press, Hale, Severn House) who turned indie in 2010. Her mysteries include the soon-to-be 18-strong Rafferty & Llewellyn series of British Mysteries, whose protagonist, DI Joe Rafferty, comes from a family who think -- if he must be a copper -- he might at least have the decency to be a bent one. Her second is the 2-strong Casey & Catt British Mysteries, with protagonist DCI 'Will' Casey, whose drugged-up 'the Sixties never died', hippie parents, also pose the occasional little difficulty. She has also published The Egg Factory, a standalone mystery/thriller set in the infertility industry, Reluctant Queen, a biographical historical, about the little sister of Henry VIII, romance (under the pseudonym of Maria Meredith), and non-fiction (some under the pseudonym of Genniffer Dooley-Hart). Geraldine is a Londoner, who moved to a Norfolk (UK) market town in 2000. Her interests include photography, getting to grips with photo manipulation software, learning keyboards and painting portraits with a good likeness, but little else to recommend them.
