While some of those around him see a man who ended his own life, Gamache looks at his pristine hands and thinks that the man did not climb up that tree himself.Gamache and his crew find out that the man had been staying at the Inn and Spa in Three Pines, so Gamache heads there to start his inquiries. He finds out that Arthur Ellis had indeed been staying at the Inn. He had been alone, and the staff thought that he had seemed lonely. When Gamache searches his room, he finds that the man had left behind a note. It sounds like it could be a suicide note. But there are clues at the scene in the forest that point to murder.When Inspector Jean-Guy Beauvier tracks down the man from his car, he finds that man lives in Ottowa and is not actually named Arthur Ellis. It’s Three Pines bookshop owner Myrna who discovers the meaning of the name. Arthur Ellis was Canada’s executioner. He worked under the name Ellis so that no one would no who he was outside of work. This stranger who was found dead in the forest had chosen that name for a reason. Gamache knows that if they can figure out why he had taken on the persona of an executioner, then they will find his killer.The Hangman is a short story set in the world of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and Three Pines in Quebec. Because it is a shorter piece than author Louise Penny’s usual stories of Three Pines, it doesn’t have the depth or the complexities of the other novels set in this world. It was written to be a short escape to Three Pines, or as an introduction to these characters, and I think it works well for that.I am a big fan of Louise Penny, and this was a nice quick stop in Three Pines, but it did leave me craving more. I missed the connections she makes between the characters, and the way that Gamache seems to draw from literature and history and art and nature to form his conclusions. But The Hangman is a nice amuse-bouche for anyone wanting a taste of Three Pines, but it’s just a small bite of a far larger and richer banquet that is the experience of reading Penny’s full-length novels. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Who Done It? *by D***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 8, 2023* I had read all six of the first CI Gamache / Three Pines novels by Louise Penny, and I loved them. Before starting the seventh novel, as I fully intend to due, today, I bought and read in one sitting No. 6.5 in the series, which is a novella, as opposed to Ms. Penny's usual long and involved novels of Chief Inspector Gamache and his homicide crew from the Sûreté du Québec.So, what's different in this novella from the usual Three Pines stories? First of all, it is more focused on a single storyline. The body of a middle-aged man is found hanging in the woods. Was it suicide? It most certainly was intended to appear so. Was it murder? It doesn't take long for CI Gamache to determine that it was.Who is the victim? He was a guest at a local resort/spa, but registered under a fictitious name. Why? Why was he killed? Who might have done it? Who could have done it?As the story unfolds, and as Armand Gamache and his team unravel the mystery, the story stays focused on this one, central issue. There are no forks in the trail through the woods surrounding Three Pines, as there usually are. There are no complementary storylines intersecting at the solution to this one central problem: Who done it.As always, Louise Penny writes beautifully and keeps the reader enthralled. Her characters are real and believable. Their actions and motives are understandable. Her stories are always enjoyable, and The Hangman is no exception to this rule. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Desperate Revenge *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2023* The Hangman was a quick read which held all the qualities of Louise Penny Gamache Mysteries. If you have a particular enjoyment of mystery, this novella will serve you more reason to find others of its kind.
