Overview

Freelance writer Emily Garland is cash-strapped, newly single, and tired of reporting on the same old condo stats. When she's offered a lucrative assignment in the village of Lount's Landing, she decides to take a chance. All she has to do is relocate and uncover the real story behind a proposed redevelopment plan. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty, as it turns out. Not everyone is happy with real estate mogul Garrett Stonehaven's plans to convert an old schoolhouse into a mega-box store. At the top of the list is Arabella Carpenter, the outspoken owner of The Glass Dolphin antiques shop, who will do just about anything to preserve the integrity of the town's historic Main Street. But Arabella is not alone in her opposition. Before long, a vocal dissenter dies. A few days later, another body is discovered. Though both deaths are ruled accidental, Emily's suspicions are aroused. Putting her interview skills to the ultimate test, Emily teams up with Arabella to discover the truth behind Stonehaven's latest scheme--before the murderer strikes again.

A thoroughly engaging mystery... well-plotted, well-paced and just plain well done! -- Elizabeth J. Duncan, award-winning author, the Penny Brannigan and Shakespeare in the Catskills mystery series A small town with a dark past, its inhabitants full of secrets, a ruthless developer, and an intrepid reporter with secrets of her own come together to create a can't-put-down-read. -- Vicki Delany, bestselling author of the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mysteries A small town with a history that is pertinently addressed, numerous characters with backstories explored just enough for us to want more and an antiques shop with the most exquisite candlesticks you'll never be able to purchase: what more do you want? --Canadian Antiques & Vintage Compelling characters with hidden connections and a good, old-fashioned amateur sleuth getting in over her head. -- James M. Jackson, author of the Seamus McCree mystery series In her first book, Toronto writer Judy Penz Sheluk probably scores a record for the most characters with skeletons in the closet. Even the sleuth figure, an investigative reporter, guards a personal mystery in a book whose author hits large in the business of concocting secrets. -- Jack Batten, The Toronto Star I admit to thinking, more than once while reading The Hanged Man's Noose, 'I didn't see that coming.' Sheluk holds the reader captive with hints of secrets and promises of revelations that, when finally unveiled, do not disappoint. Gail M. Baugniet, author of the Pepper Bibeau mystery series
