Hangman by Daniel Cole
5.0
I had really high hopes for this book as Ragdoll was one of my favourite books of last year. It took me a chapter to get into the story but after that it didn't disappoint.
In my review of Ragdoll I wondered how they were going to continue after the conclusion of that book and the answer was to focus on Emily Baxter. William Fawkes is barely mentioned throughout and so we have a whole new cast of characters as the book flips between London & New York.
We have crazed killers, mysterious cult leaders and a lot of buildings being blown up. I'm never happier as a reader than when the author throws the whole kitchen sink into the story. As long as the end ties everything up the more outlandish the story the better. And I was not disappointed.
It's a real roller-coaster and although the twist when it came was a bit obvious and had been foreshadowed earlier I still enjoyed it and looked forward to where the reveal would take me.
Definitely emerging as one of my new favourite authors. I really enjoyed this and would recommend.
