The Hangman

Forgotten Files, Book 3

By: Mary Burton

Narrated by: Christina Traister

Julia Vargas is a cop with a mission. When she's not chasing down bad guys, Julia dedicates her time to investigating the Hangman serial killer...the same unsolved case that her father, Jim Vargas, was working on when he supposedly shot and killed himself three decades before. While rumors continue to swirl around her father's death, Julia attempts to hunt down the truth.

The case once again hits dangerously close, however, when a woman's bones are discovered in a historic downtown home, together with a photograph of Jim and Julia as a young girl. As horrifying as this discovery is, it may just be the break Julia has waited for. Working alongside Tobias Novak, a homicide detective with whom she shares a complicated - and steamy - history, she's forced to confront her own past even as the Hangman looms in the shadows. But as the mysterious killer circles closer, Julia can feel her own noose begin to tighten...

So suspenseful I almost skipped to the end to just to know who the Hangman was

I love this series and was not disappointed! I've become rather picky in my mystery & thriller choices, but this one was worth the credit!

Gruesomely Good

Mary Burton never disappoints. Her twisted, evil plots are worth the late nights I put in listening to them. Her deliciously devious characters are worth the invasion into my poor brain.

This addition to the Forgotten Files involves Julia Vargas and Tobias Novak as Julia attempts to clear her father's name of the Hangman Killings. She's got her work cut out for her on this cold case, and a lot of people want to block her progress. But Julia is doggedly determined, and Tobias is bound to not only help her solve this case, but to keep her safe while they fit all the pieces together. This is no easy feat, as someone is so resolute about keeping the truth from her, they're willing to kill for it.

As is true of pretty much all of this author's works, this story is chock full of heroism, strength, courage, intelligence, and even wit. It's the whole package, and well worth unwrapping like a gift.

Another great listen!

Loved the character development, narration was great…except for the deep manly voices. Don’t really think that’s necessary, as it just sounds silly. All in all, really enjoying this series. Looking forward to the next book
