Product Description

Product Description
It seems an unlikely coincidence - two women hung from the same tree, five centuries apart. DI Wesley Peterson is forced to consider that the killer also knows the tree's history. Has Pauline been executed rather than murdered and, if so, for what crime?

From the Author
An exciting new Wesley Peterson novel.
When the body of Pauline Brent is found hanging from an ancient yew tree in a Devon village churchyard the police suspect foul play. But Pauline was the local doctor's receptionist, well liked and with no real enemies...and yet someone killed her.

DS Wesley Peterson is determined to discover the truth and it is history that provides him with a clue. His archaeologist friend, Neil Watson, has excavated a corpse at a nearby dig; a body that has been buried at a crossroads, on unhallowed ground. Legend has it that a young woman was publicly executed, hanged from the churchyard yew centuries before. Has Neil discovered her remains? And why was she buried with a collection of rare medieval sculptures?

It seems an unlikely coincidence - two women hanged from the same tree five centuries apart. Wesley is forced to consider the possibility that the killer also knows the tree's dark history. Has Pauline been executed rather than murdered - and if so for what crime?

To catch a dangerous killer Wesley has to discover as much as he can about the victim. But Pauline Brent appears to have been a woman with few friends, no relatives and a past she has carefully tried to hide. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A hanging offence, 13 Jan 2009
This did not hang together so well for me as Ellis's first novel. The extracts from manuscripts which she uses so originally to introduce each chapter didn't tie in so convincingly or tightly enough with the modern plot. Nevertheless it's a superior read - I'm just glad I had read one of her previous novels or I might have been tempted to bypass her in future. However I already have the next - The Funeral Boat - at hand so I shall stay with her. Her prose is very eloquent, seamless and carries enough detail. Her books are a fine example of the genre and contain good quantities of social comment. Wesley is a wonderful product of our time - super guy, though his wife seems a bit of a miserable mother. Amazing that Michael is such a contented baby. This book didn't hold my attention like the first.
