Hanging Hill

De: Mo Hayder

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

One morning in picture-perfect Bath, England, a teenage girl's body is found on the towpath of a canal: Lorne Woods - beautiful, popular, and apparently the victim of a disturbingly brutal murder. Zoe Benedict - Harley-riding police detective, independent to a fault - is convinced the department head needs to look beyond the usual domestic motives to solve the case. Meanwhile, Zoe's sister, Sally - recently divorced and in dire financial straits - has begun working as a housekeeper for a rich entrepreneur who quickly begins to seem possibly dangerous. When Zoe's investigation turns up evidence that Lorne's attempts to break into modeling had delivered her into the world of webcam girls and amateur porn, a crippling secret from Zoe's past seems determined to emerge.

A Little Disappointing, but Engaging

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The ending was a bit disappointing.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I liked the fact that Sally and Zoe were sisters.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

It was fine, nothing that really stood out, but fine.

Do you think Hanging Hill needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It could, but it's not necessary, the story is essentially over.

My First MH, But Not Last

Good story, a little slow initially, but pace picked up and I found myself totally engaged. Like another reviewer, I too like happy endings, and this one was a bit of a cliff hanger, so I was a little disappointed with that.

Slow beginning, but worth the wait.

If you could sum up Hanging Hill in three words, what would they be?

Worth the wait. The first half hour or so frustrated me, but it all sorted itself out and it turned out to be a pretty good book. Well worth what I paid for it.

Any additional comments?

The ending was surprising and it left me wanting more.

Love Mo Hayder

She does it again, a little slow to start but love the twists and turns. Dark and twisty and I almost didn’t miss Jack Caffery

Twisting & Turning right up to the end!

So many twists and turns to the story, wasn't sure how this would end up - but yet, another twist... twisted it self right out of being a good read at the end of it.
