This Chief Inspector Gamache novella is set in Three Pines. This novella is a short and easy read for people on the go.
Reviews with the most likes.
Short review: This is a novella that fits in between books 6 and 7 but can be read as a stand alone book. The Hangman is designed as a book for adults with low reading skills. But Penny's skill as a writer really shines through in the fact that this book does not feel like a low reader book. It uses simplified vocabulary without being repetition or feeling like Gamache isn't saying what he would normally say.
The story is simplified because of length. And in general I am not a huge fan of novellas or short stories because the shorter format does not allow as much development in characters or story. But for the limitations of length, this still presents a completely story.
my not really more detailed review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/the-hangman/
