Gallows Drop

DCI Kate Daniels is at the scene of a hanging.  Unfortunately she isn’t going to be the Senior Investigating Officer; DCI James Atkins is, and they have history.  Despite being about to go no leave, Daniels begins her investigation with her DS, Hank Gormley.

Finally a witness steps forward on the day before Daniels is to go on leave.  It is Atkins’ daughter.  Once Superintendent Bright hears that Atkins has a conflict of interest, he removes him from the case.  Atkins promises himself that he will deal with Daniels as a result of her being given the case over him.

The case takes a twist when the friend of the first victim is found hanging in a nearby forest.  This time there is a note with the body.

A problem later arises when Daniels receives the final pathology report.  The cause of death isn’t as they had suspected, so their supposed criminals could get off a murder charge.  The team needs more evidence.

How will they put their case together without evidence?  Author Mari Hannah’s thriller gets even more thrilling as the reader turns the pages towards a very exciting conclusion.  This book was hard to put down, leaving the reader wanting to pick up the sequel.
