Reviews

Praise for Michael Wood:

A tense, nail-biting story with a truly twisted ending Katerina Diamond

An established master of the serial killer novel takes us on another dangerous journey through the streets of Sheffield. Watch out for those twists you won't see them coming! Stephen Booth

A gritty and atmospheric thriller with more twists and turns than a hangman's knot. I loved it Matt Hilton

Solid storytelling and great unravelling of plot. Michael Wood ups the pace as the noose tightens Rachel Sargeant

Taut, twisting and sharp as a blade, The Hangmans Hold wrong-footed me at every, devious turn Chris Whitaker

'Wood hit the ground running with For Reasons Unknown, first in the DCI Matilda Darke series. In the fourth instalment, The Hangman's Hold, he picks up the pace again with a twisting plot that races to a nail-biting finish Chris Simms

Bites into you like the rough twine of a hangmans noose and refuses to let go. Tautly plotted, brilliantly realised, this is further proof that Michael Wood is only going to get better and better. The Hangmans Hold is going to be big Neil Broadfoot
