A review by helenephoebe
The Laughing Hangman by Edward Marston

4.0

Review - I think that this is one of my favourites of the Bracewell series, along with [b:The Roaring Boy|1176511|The Roaring Boy|Edward Marston|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328757418s/1176511.jpg|2095629]. I think that the storyline was clever and had so many different strands that you didn't know which were red herrings and which were essential to the story. I really missed the presence of Anne Hendrik in the previous novel, but I enjoyed her return here, and it seems as if she will continue to appear in later books.
