The Hanging of Hettie Gale

Revenge will survive death.

A mother’s love will never die. Neither will a mother’s fury . . .

The moor is a difficult place for a young woman to grow up in the eighteenth century, and life for Hettie Gale is no different. Abused by her father and abandoned by her family, she builds a new life for herself and her young son. But when she’s assaulted by men who lie about the encounter and accuse her of a heinous crime, Hettie is sentenced to death.

In the present day, Alice receives news that her cousin has gone missing from her cottage on the moor, where Alice spent many of her childhood summers. Wanting to help find Fleur, she heads to the village. There, she becomes increasingly obsessed with the legend of Hettie Gale, especially after stumbling upon a set of journals that reveal, bit by bit, clues about what happened to the people who have gone missing on the moor over the years.

But what links Hettie Gale to Fleur? And if the ghost of Hettie Gale is seeking justice, can Alice do anything to bring the spirit peace and save Fleur from Hettie’s inconsolable wrath?
