The Hanging Woods

DCI Hannah Scarlett and her team have been given the cold case of a missing boy.  His younger sister had recently contacted Hannah about the case.  She didn't want her brother to be forgotten nor her uncle to still be blamed for his disappearance.she had been persuaded by Hannah's friend Daniel Kind to contact Hannah.  Unfortunately, Hannah hadn't paid her any attention, so the young woman committed suicide.

Many in the community believe that the uncle killed his nephew, but the suicide victim never believed that.  At a dinner hosted by a local wealthy family, Daniel learns some interesting news; a young man who is doing voluntary work at a local library has claimed to be the illegitimate half-brother of the suicide.

Unfortunately, the man is killed when he confronts someone about his parentage.  Will more deaths occur before Hannah can solve the cold case and her colleagues solve the current cases?  Author, Martin Edwards has a few surprises up his sleeve before the conclusion.  A very good, quick read.
