The Hangman

Written by Louise Penny

Narrated by Robert Bathurst

On a cold November morning, a jogger runs through the woods in the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines. On his run, he finds a dead man hanging from a tree. The dead man was a guest at the local Inn and Spa. He might have been looking for peace and quiet, but something else found him. Something horrible. Did the man take his own life? Or was he murdered? Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is called to the crime scene. As Gamache follows the trail of clues, he opens a door into the past. And he learns the true reason why the man came to Three Pines. This is a short audiobook for people on the go.

Reviews for The Hangman

[Gloriana · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I haven’t read the book series but recently watched the Amazon prime tv adaptation. This was interesting to contrast with the show.

Always good to be back in Three Pines with Gamache, even if it is for a very short time.

[Julie Spangler · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

After following this series from the very first book, it was so jarring to have this new narrator reading everyone with a British accent that I could hardly follow what was going on. Gamache has always been FRENCH-CANADIAN, not some mash up of British and who knows what.
I'm so disappointed to see that this new narrator will be taking over. I don't think I can listen anymore. I'll go back to the actual books so I can enjoy the characters as I've come to hear & love them.

[Daryl Wilkins · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I liked the story, although it certainly isn’t as in-depth as I am accustomed to getting with her novels. It felt a little like a plot skeleton instead of a fully developed plot.

All of Louise Penny’s books are wonderful and the reader of these books is amazing. Love it.
