The Hanging Tree : The second diary of Lady Jane Tremayne by James Walker

Another whodunnit in the series of Lady Tremayne diaries. The year is 1654. When an anonymous young woman is found hanged from a tree, Lady Jane Tremayne believes she's been murdered and is determined to investigate the crime. The trail she follows proves to be a perilous one, leading to her being kidnapped and taken abroad, where she expects to be sold as a slave to Corsairs. Avoiding this fate, she returns to England only to find that the man she has married in secret faces a charge of treason and that fresh dangers await not only her but also her best friend, Olivia Courtney. Saving Olivia and her husband becomes a race against time in this fast-paced and adventurous whodunnit.
