Summary
‘Tense, twisty, emotional and gripping. Will definitely be reading more from Matilda Darke and this gets a huge 5 stars from me!’ Angela Marsons
‘Matilda Darke is an excellent character’ BA Paris
A TEAM TORN APART
Nine months ago DCI Matilda Darke survived a bullet to the head. The brutal attack claimed dozens of lives, including those she loved most, and the nightmares still plague her every waking thought.
A MEMORY SHE’D RATHER FORGET
Now, she’s ready to get back on the job. But a new terror awaits. A woman is found murdered and her wounds look eerily similar to several cold cases. Desperate to find a lead, DCI Darke and her team must face a terrifying truth: a serial killer is on the loose in Sheffield.
A THREAT CLOSE TO HOME
Matilda has led countless murder investigations before but the lingering emotional scars from her ordeal and the uneasiness within her once-tight team have left tensions high. As the body count rises, Matilda realises that this might just be where it all ends.
The brand new instalment in the DCI Matilda Darke series will leave you on the edge of your seat. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Kathy Reichs and Peter James.
‘Had me in tears at one point. Brilliant, non-stop stuff. Feel like I’ve been through some sort of psychological bombardment. Exhausted. Terrific’ John Barlow, author of Right to Kill

Critic reviews
‘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 Hangman’s 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 hangman’s 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 Hangman’s Hold is going to be big…’ Neil Broadfoot
Praise for Michael Wood:
‘You can count on Michael Wood to deliver a deliciously twisted and intriguing plot, leading to a surprise ending by a likeable and very real protagonist, Matilda Darke’ Yrsa Sigurdardottir
‘She is the perfect heroine’ Elly Griffiths
‘A pitch-black concept, tightly delivered and played at exhilarating pace’ Paul Finch
‘Crackling dialogue, dark wit and an exciting ending. Recommended if you liked Happy Valley’ Mark Edwards
‘DCI Matilda Darke is going places’ James Oswald
‘A compelling, addictive read, it’s hard to put down. I really enjoyed getting to know DCI Matilda Darke. She's strong character with real depth’ Robert Bryndza, bestselling author of THE GIRL IN THE ICE
‘A beautifully written book with a dark heart and a secret that impacts on generations’ Sarah Ward

Just love this series
I’m really enjoying the DCI Darke series and enjoyed the last two as much. Genuinely don’t understand the negative reviews. The plot is twisty and the characters just brilliant.

Lots of twists!
Really enjoyed this book. There’s a big twist in it that I really didn’t see coming. I think this is my favourite so far from this author.

Okay
Very slow and could have been much shorter. Actually, maybe the previous book should have been the final one.

less dramatic than the other million of Michael
Alot less dramatic than the last book but lacks detective skills. I still roll my eyes at the techniques used by the writer. Matilda is a survivor for sure but by God I'd have topped myself 4 books ago. Why do all the killers have a link to a copper of some sort?

Try and read this series in order
Because I had read later novels in this series, I knew where this was heading but the journey to that reveal was very intense and intriguing.
I could analyse the plot and describe it as s being a little ridiculous but the characters are so well written and the narrator is so skilled that I remained engaged and enthralled throughout.
I would advise reading these books in the order they are written. They work as a one off novel but I would have preferred to have come to this novel not knowing who dunn it.

Another great read
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought I’d guessed who the killer was but was totally surprised when the real killer was revealed. The only downside for me was, I wish, once found, Carl Meagan had been left alone. The very end aggravated me a bit.
Narrator was Excellent again.
