The Secret Hangman (Peter Diamond Series #9) Book

Read by............... Christopher Scott
Total Runtime......... 10 Hours 25 Mins

Description: Widowed Inspector Peter Diamond is being pursued by a secret admirer as he pursues a serial killer. Delia Williamson, a mother of two young girls who works as a waitress, is first reported missing by her own mother. She is found in a public park, hanged from the crossbar of a children's swing set. There seems to be no reason for her to have committed suicide, and the postmortem reveals that she was murdered. Her present partner, her ex-husband, and a traveling salesman who dined at her table in the restaurant where she worked, are all suspects. Then her former husband is found in a cave, also hanged. A remorse suicide? Diamond doesn't think so. When a well-to-do couple is found dead, both hanged, a suicide pact is suggested. Diamond is dubious; too many couples are dying by the same method. Before he can figure out what is going on, one more person will die.



This is the one where we find out Peter is not fond of things that live in caves, and the three year widower finally gets a leg-over. Diamond's personal life kept me going as the crime story was ludicrous.

Bath Racecourse Bath Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located on Lansdown Hill, just north of Bath, Somerset.
