William Swallow’s review of The Hangman by Louise Penny. William is a student at the Yamaska Literacy Council.
The Hangman by Louise Penny is a mystery set in the town of Three Pines. A dead man is found hanging from a tree. They think it’s a suicide. But it’s murder. They don’t find the culprits, a man and a woman, until the end. I loved everything about this book. I liked the way Chief Inspector Gamache investigated the crime. It would be good if they made this into a movie or a play. One man ends up being killed by his own hate. It would have been better form him if he’d been able to forgive and forget.
