About this listen

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Hangman's Song, the third in the phenomenally successful Inspector McLean series by James Oswald. Read by the actor Ian Hanmore.

The body of a man is found hanging in an empty house. To the Edinburgh police force this appears to be a simple suicide case. Days later another body is found. The body is hanging from an identical rope and the noose has been tied using the same knot. Then a third body is found. As Inspector McLean digs deeper he descends into a world where the lines of reality are blurred and where the most irrational answers become the only explanations.

Great narration.

Would you listen to The Hangman's Song again? Why?

No. I have no desire to read, or become involved with the occult.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Hangman's Song?

The realisation that the main character could have been in line for a billion pound inheritance had he compared DNAs.

Have you listened to any of Ian Hanmore’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes - as good as always.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Could have easily.

Any additional comments?

Great story line brings Scotland's great city alive.

Cracker of a tale

Inspector McLean again drags me into this roller coaster of a story. Great suspense, fabulous narration. Who could ask for more. Me.....more more more books please.
