Published by the respected London imprint Geoffrey Bles, the novel unfolds with measured tension as its protagonist is thrust into an investigation that refuses to yield easy answers, navigating a world where motives are concealed and the truth is buried beneath layers of deception.\n\nRoffman — a pseudonym used by the prolific mystery author Mabel Elsie Neville, also known for works such as Likely to Die and Winter of the Fox — crafts narratives with the precision and pacing of the golden age crime tradition, whilst grounding them in a distinctly mid-century British sensibility. The prose is controlled and deliberate, building dread through carefully observed detail rather than lurid spectacle. For readers who relish a mystery that rewards patience and intelligence, The Hanging Woman promises a journey into darkness where not everything — or everyone — is quite what it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161003040987,"sku":"2026200014083-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/49163aa0-2b63-4c83-b093-e0a5cb25613d.png?v=1787188806","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014083-secondhand-the-hanging-woman","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
