The Hanging Tree by Paul Doherty


1382. This is a busy time for High Coroner Sir John Cranston and his secretary Brother Athelston, not only to they have to investigate the theft of crown gold and silver from the impregnable Flambard's Tower, but also the deaths of six members of the Guild of Hangman. Then there is the murder of Clement, ex Key-master, found in St. Erconwald's church.
An entertaining well-written and well-plotted historical novel of the time of Richard II. With its likeable main two characters, it is another good addition to this series which can easily be read as a standalone story.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
