2024 IndieReader Discovery Award winner
"Genevieve Morrissey’s MARRIAGE AND HANGING is a splendid historical novel that will captivate fans of mystery as it explores questions of trust in marriage, religion, and oneself." —Alicia Rudnicki for IndieReader

Quarter Finalist, 2024 BookLife Prize
"Inspired by a notorious real 19th century case, Morrissey...delivers an engrossing murder mystery set in 1830s New England and thoughtfully tethered to the faith, expectations, and marital customs of the era. The mystery itself proves gripping, with Morrissey deftly teasing revelations and then showing her cards at the perfect moment... This deft historical New England mystery digs deeply into women’s lives." —BookLife 'Editor's Pick' review

On a cold January morning in 1832, a young New England mill girl, five months pregnant, is found hanged in a deserted woodyard.

Initially ruled a suicide, letters found among the victim's effects lead to the suspicion that the father of her child—and likely murderer—is the young Reverend Josiah Woodley, a married man. Josiah is arrested and charged.

Since the death of their infant daughter, when Rachel Woodley was disappointed to discover her husband wasn’t the masterful “head of the woman” her religion tells her she must have to subdue her own unwomanly drive and initiative, the Woodleys have been living parallel lives, drifting ever further apart. Now, finding the evidence against her husband strong enough to convict him, and shocked to discover no one in his church seems eager to see him exonerated, Rachel exerts herself to vindicate him, if she can. At first timid and ineffectual, she gradually gains confidence in herself—and in Josiah, who proves to be not as weak and vacillating as she once imagined. But can she uncover the truth in time to save him from the gallows?

Inspired by a true event, Marriage and Hanging is the captivating new historical novel by Genevieve Morrissey, author of the popular Antlands science fiction series.

Genevieve Morrissey is a passionate student of British and American social history, but through one of those strange little quirks of fate she spends most of her days talking with scientists. THEA, her most recent novel, is a coming-of-age story set in 1920s Oklahoma City. MARRIAGE AND HANGING is her first historical crime novel, inspired by a true incident in 1832 New England. In her very popular ANTLANDS series, she explores a future history of societies coping with the loss of civilization—and attempting to rebuild it.

Genevieve enjoys reading obscure books, travel, good cooking, and solitude.

    A most enjoyable story because I could identify the characters with some whom I have known in my lifetime. The influence of religious biases, the hypocrisies of humans and the ability of some to rise above their personal preconceptions made this a rewarding as well as enjoyable read.

    I really enjoyed Marriage and Hanging and finished it in a weekend. The central mystery is compelling but it is the characters themselves that kept me reading. I enjoyed both their idiosyncrasies and the author's wry descriptions.

    The story had a view of people making assumptions on heresay evidence.

    The book showed how we go along with the crowd and that we should examine the facts before we judge that person's innocence or guilt.
