Looks to me that those in this challenge may be having trouble finding a title for category #5 (just hangin' around), so let's expand it a bit. Even though many witches weren't hanged, I will suggest that this category also include anything to do with witches, rather than just the gallows. How's that?

   Sounds good.

Thanks,

Could it have 'gallows' in the title?   I just acquired Robin Paige's series, and the second book is Death at Gallows Green.  

I'm not sure anyone gets hung.  Hanged.  Strung up.  Would it work anyway?

Yep. Vicky, that would work as well. I am looking at that book as a possibilty too. This category seems to require a lot of leeway (what was I thinkin"?)

I'm still mad that I read the novel about the man known as "The Hanging Judge" right before this challenge started! Wait, it wasn't a mystery, so it still wouldn't have counted, even with all those hangings.

I'm going with "The Gallows Thief" by Bernard Cornwell.
