“No one working in the crime genre is better.”
—Baltimore Sun

L.A.P.D. Homicide Detective Peter Decker and his wife Rina Lazarus are back on a case in Hangman—an electrifying new novel of suspense from Faye Kellerman, New York Times bestselling author of Blindman’s Bluff, The Mercedes Coffin, The Burnt House, and many other masterful thrillers. A stunning tale of crime and detection featuring the brutal death of a “party girl” health care worker, a mysterious disappearance, and the chilling return of an all-too-familiar sociopath, Hangman is Kellerman’s 21st bestseller to feature Decker and Lazarus, “Hands down, the most refreshing mystery couple around.” (People)

Now I cant wait to read the next one! Hangman

Ok now I'm a fan of Leiutenant Peter Decker. Again I can't wait to get the next one in the series. The storylines, the characters, the settings. When I listen my imagination seems to work overtime, picturing what each of them would look like. Many thanks to Faye Kellerman I really enjoy listening to your books.

Hangman

I love these books by Faye Kellermann. While reading i become part of Reinas’s family. Their ups and downs. Starting with book #1. I have learned a lot about being jewish and find it so interesting. It answered many questions i had. Through the books i have seen the family grow and become adults. I hope there are more books to follow.

FINALY a great chapter in the series!

The last 2 instalments left me flat and I was mulling over giving up on the future books, but this one saved the series from that fate!

It was great and there was enough movement in the background story of the “Deckers at Home” that I dove into Book 20 right away.

Enjoyable mystery

I enjoyed the suspense and the dual storyline. The mom, Rena, and the dad, Decker, make a great couple.

all around great read

I loved the addition of the boy Gabe. Hope he shows up in another story.

Felt as if she ran out of time

I always enjoy the Peter and Rina Decker novels, although I find we haven't had enough of Rina in recent books. And the link between their religious observance and their daily lives is hardly emphasized any more -- in this book, they take in a non-Jewish kid and there is barely any reference to how he is going to adjust to life in a Shomer Shabbos (Sabbath observant) home. But that's not my main complaint about this one, which just feels disjointed and unbalanced. Kellerman has decided to describe every female character's clothing, which is a bit bizarre -- do we care that Marge is wearing rubber-soled shoes? And she goes into great detail about every single preliminary interrogation as Peter and his team try to solve the murders -- but then all of the final and crucial leg work, interviews, shocking evidence, interrogations and confessions are described in a summary narrative in the last 45 minutes of the book, or less. Did she reach her page limit and say, "Oops, no time for more dialogue, let's wrap everything up?" Also, no one seems at all fazed that an intelligent doctor has stayed married to a hit man for years and seems to have no problem with his continuing to see their son. I'm giving it three stars because I was consistently interested, but it's not up to Kellerman's usual standards.

Lots of twists

Fun read with lots of suspense, twists and interesting relationships. Narrator was good and I enjoyed listening to his voice.

Hangman

As a huge Faye Kellerman fan, I found this book quite good. She did an excellent job with the mother/father/son relationship surrounding Gabe Whitman and as always, Peter and Rina are very rich characters. My only hesitation was the narrator. His deepest voice which he used for about 5 characters didn't provide enough differentiation from one character to the next.

Very Good "read"

Would you consider the audio edition of Hangman to be better than the print version?

I either read or listen to books but not both so can't say one is better then other. I did enjy this audible version

This book has great character development. It really grows and grows in its complexity as you read it. Very well written.
