About this listen

Small-town secrets and subterfuge lead to murder in this fast-moving, deftly written tale of high-stakes real estate wrangling gone amok.

Journalist Emily Garland lands a plum assignment as the editor of a niche magazine based in Lount’s Landing, a small town named after a colorful 19th-century Canadian traitor. As she interviews the local business owners for the magazine, Emily quickly learns that many people are unhappy with real estate mogul Garrett Stonehaven’s plans to convert an old schoolhouse into a mega-box store. At the top of that list is Arabella Carpenter, the outspoken owner of an antiques shop, who will do just about anything to preserve the integrity of the town’s historic Main Street.

But Arabella is not alone in her opposition. Before long, a vocal dissenter at a town hall meeting about the proposed project dies. A few days later, another body is discovered, and although both deaths are ruled accidental, Emily’s journalistic suspicions are aroused.

Putting her reporting skills to the ultimate test, Emily teams up with Arabella to discover the truth behind Stonehaven’s latest scheme before the murderer strikes again.

Great Mystery!

Judy Penz Sheluk really impressed me with The Hanged Man's Noose. I did not guess who the killer was. It is a talented author who does not make the killer obvious, and stumps the readers/listeners. I found myself pulled into the story from the very beginning. The imagery and details in the book are wonderful, the characters are well developed and the plot is complex. This book is both a standalone listen and part of a series. Suzanne T Fortin did a good performance with this book. Some of the characters had distinguishable voices, which I love. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Cozy mystery

Any additional comments?
I loved skeleton in the attic, so when I saw this I thought I had to get my hands on it. I found that it is not as good as the book I mentioned however, I was still hooked and wanted to find out who did it. I must admit that I got it wrong, so the author suprised me there and the narrator did a great job.

Cracking Murder mystery

I am a sucker for a good small town murder mystery and this is a superb one. Great characters, well constructed mystery, unexpected culprit, a little love interest and a nice ending. I loved it. Narration is excellent bringing the story to life. I look forward to listening to the follow up. I received a complimentary copy from the author and am leaving a honest voluntary review.

Deep, dark, and dangerous.

Toronto based freelance journalist Emily Garland is offered an assignment in a small town called Loundt's Landing, editing and revamping in local, failing monthly publication. The town had been in decline but there was a scheme that might help kick start it's recovery. Or not. Because the real reason Emily was being sent there by her boss was to investigate a certain charismatic developer and, if possible, expose him for the 'lieing, cheating bastard we both know he is."

After a somewhat conventional beginning, this enjoyable murder mystery introduces us to a cast of colourful characters, disturbing deaths, silent secrets and a fresh take on fakes and reproductions. Northern most believable of stories but great fun and well written (although the ending felt rather rushed). Suzanne T. Fortin, the narrator, did an excellent job, her pleasant, clearly enunciated voice well intoned, her reading well paced and delivered with understanding and gentle emotion. Not a great differentiation between characters voices, but the speaker was always obvious.

The Hanged Man's Noose is a pleasant mystery, fun to read and to try to guess at the answers. My thanks to the rights holder for freely gifting me a complimentary copy, at my request, via Audiobook Boom. This could turn out to be an enjoyable series.

The Hangmans Noose

Another Good story By Judy Penz Sheluk. I read the second book in the series before this one and having enjoyed that one looked forward to reading this one, I was not disappointed. The storyline is good and goes along at a fair pace, the characters are well developed and believable. The narration is very good with different voices for each character making the book much easier to follow. Highly recommended.
I was given the copy of the book at my request and have left this honest and voluntary review.

Hanged Man's noose


It is somewhat a quirky mystery that turned out to be very enjoyable. The book has too many characters with too much background information to keep straight in such a short story.
