The Hanging Girl

by Eileen Cook

A twisting, turning thriller from the author of With Malice

Two girls, one fatal reading . . . because the truth always lies in the cards

Skye's mother believes she has 'the gift' - the ability to see the future. Skye however can only see the opportunity to make money - and happily fleeces her gullible classmates into handing over their cash to hear their futures through Skye's well-worn tarot cards. But it's all for a good cause, right? Skye needs to save her hard-earned cash to go to New York with her best mate Drew.

Then the local mayor's daughter, Paige, disappears - and Skye has a tip off about her whereabouts. Skye is uncomfortable about the source and masks the tip off as a vision.

But things get wildly out of control when Paige is found murdered and Skye is a prime suspect . . .

Reviews

[Sam@WLABB]

I was looking forward to this book. I like a mystery every once and while, and this one sounded interesting. Although the bulk of the plot seemed familiar, I did enjoy it. There were a few red herrings there that seemed promising, but I did realize who really did it, which did not spoil the experience. I think I am just so tired of the constant politics, which I try to escape by reading. I usually let these things slide, but because of my current mood with everything that is going on, it just tainted it for me.

The cover on this one is just ok in my opinion. It's an OK representation of the story, and the title work is good (if a little on the large size).



I don't have much to say about this one. It was OK. I knew pretty much right from the start what some of the twists were going to be. The plot wasn't exactly original. Nor did I particularly care for any of the characters. On top of that, the ending fell a bit flat for me as well.That said, it was a relatively quick read, and I found it engaging enough that I finished it. So that is a checkmark in the plus column for it I guess.
