As with Death of a Dentist, I brought Louise Penny's The Hangman on a long flight recently because I knew I could count on Penny to keep me turning the pages.
The Hangman is actually a novella. At a scant 55 pages, I read the whole book in less time than it took the flight attendants to serve dinner (it was a big plane). In any event, Armand Gamache investigates the death of a Three Pines visitor who is found hanging in a nearby forest by a jogger one morning. Although the signs point to suicide, Gamache is not convinced and begins asking questions.
A great, short read. Louise Penny continues to be one of my new favorites.
