The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Pötzsch

4.0

An enjoyable mystery in a very unusual setting, 17th century Germany. It gave an interesting glimpse into what life was like 400 years ago and the way people thought and acted. You wonder if we have actually progressed much at all. The main character is a very likable, hangman from a small town outside of Munich. He has both common sense and compassion, in a town that seems to have very little. The title is a mis-direciton, and should have been called The Hangman's Dilemma.
