Description
"Trust no one. The Hanging Girl is a nail-biter littered and lined with twists that will leave you gasping." --Teresa Toten, author of Beware That Girl and The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B
Skye Thorn has given tarot card readings for years, and now her psychic visions are helping the police find the town’s missing golden girl. It’s no challenge—her readings have always been faked, but this time she has some insider knowledge. The kidnapping was supposed to be easy—no one would get hurt and she’d get the money she needs to start a new life. But a seemingly harmless prank has turned dark, and Skye realizes the people she’s involved with are willing to kill to get what they want and she must discover their true identity before it’s too late.

Editorial Reviews
"...[The Hanging Girl] is fast-paced; features a very relatable, down-on-herluck protagonist; and boasts a surprise twist that will leave readers arguing long after the book is over. Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers." –Booklist "A surprisingly dark thriller that will find a home in libraries where there is a need for strong female protagonists and engrossing mysteries." –SLJ "...The multiple twists in the ending pack several hefty wallops of surprise and reward the reader with a more than satisfactory payout." –Bulletin "The final twist is creepy and, like all good twists, makes perfect sense when reading back to see what you missed." --The Globe and Mail —
