About this product
Product Information
"A special treat."-Marilyn Stasio, "The New York Times Book Review""Peter Lovesey has cloaked the classic puzzle' mystery in a fully realized world of coppers and local landmarks."-"Houston Chronicle""Lovesey . . . should be on every British mystery lover's short list, and this is a fine place to start."-"Rocky Mountain News""Lovesey deftly blends suspense and humor in this excellent ninth whodunit to feature Peter Diamond."-"Publishers Weekly" (starred)"Lovesey continues to excel, with cleverly plotted mysteries filled with detailed behind-the-scenes police work. Patrons who like Reginald Hill, Ian Rankin, and Stephen Booth will snap this one up."-"Library Journal" (starred)Widowed Inspector Peter Diamond is being pursued by a secret admirer even as he pursues a serial killer. Delia Williamson, mother of two young girls, is reported missing. 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.

Crime Writers' Association Diamond Dagger for Lifetime Achievement Recipient Mystery Writers of America 2018 Grandmaster Praise for The Secret Hangman An Independent Mystery Booksellers Association Killer Book "When it comes to the classic British puzzle mystery . . . Peter Lovesey is your man. His latest, The Secret Hangman . . . is a special treat . . . Lovesey proves that the traditional puzzle mystery is always a bit of fun and games." -- The New York Times Book Review "Lovesey's delicate balance of humor and suspense [is] one of the delights of contemporary crime fiction." -- Wall Street Journal "Lovesey continues to excel, with clever plotted mysteries filled with detailed behind-the-scenes police work." -- Library Journal , Starred Review "Lovesey deftly blends suspense and humor in this excellent ninth whodunit to feature Peter Diamond . . .

Masterful." -- Houston Chronicle Praise for The Peter Diamond series "Peter Diamond is impatient, belligerent, cunning, insightful, foul, laugh-out-loud funny . . . A superb series." --Louise Penny "I'm jealous of everyone discovering Lovesey and Diamond for the first time--you have a wonderful backlist to catch up on. Me, all I can do is wait for the next book." --Sara Paretsky "What'll it be today? A knotty puzzle mystery? A fast-paced police procedural? Something more high-toned, with a bit of wit? With the British author Peter Lovesey, there's no need to make those agonizing decisions, because his books have it all." --The New York Times Book Review "Mr. Lovesey's narrative is swift, but he takes time out for local color and abundant humor, the latter springing from the book's quirky characters . . . Lovesey is a wizard at mixing character-driven comedy with realistic-to-grim suspense. And in a writing career spanning four decades, he has created a stylish and varied body of work." -- The Wall Street Journal "Next to Jane Austen, Peter Lovesey is the writer the tourist board of Bath, England, extols most proudly . . . The enduring draw of the Peter Diamond books derives both from the beguiling Bath cityscape and the brusque character of Diamond himself." --NPR, Praise for The Secret Hangman *An Independent Mystery Booksellers Association Killer Book * "When it comes to the classic British puzzle mystery . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
