This might be my favourite Hallett yet? She‘s such a master at constructing an interesting mystery and then presenting it in just the most imaginative way!

A very enjoyable and cleverly written epistolary style mystery. I didn‘t always know what was going on, the plot is quite complex but it all came together at the end. Not my favourite book by this author but still a worthwhile read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A library book. I‘ve read the author‘s previous three books and very much enjoyed them.

I didn‘t think the concept for this one was as strong or interesting as Alperton Angels BUT I was still glued to the pages and was successfully lead up and down several garden paths, without ever really being suspicious in the right direction… which doesn‘t happen to me all that often - another well crafted story from Janice Hallett.

I hadn't planned to read this on my lunch today, but then the reserve came in and I couldn't resist diving right into it!

janeycanuck OMG, so jealous!! I‘m first on the holds list but the single copy coming to my library hasn‘t come in yet! 2mo

bookwench @janeycanuck Funny, it doesn\'t have any holds at my library, despite my trying to interest people in her books. I think not everyone is as entranced with the epistolary style as I am. BTW, my fave was Twyford--what was anybody else\'s? 1mo

janeycanuck @bookwench I‘m STILL waiting for the library‘s order to come in for this!! My favourite has been Alperton Angels but I haven‘t read the Appeal yet. Or this one! 1mo

Hallett‘s books are always a crazy ride! This one wasn‘t my favorite but I still liked it and flew through it. The style of telling the story through emails, texts, memos, reports, etc is fun to read between other denser books.

Not my favourite of hers, but I just love Hallett's style and was nevertheless completely entertained. Our was at times a little too convoluted, but again it was just so fun that I'm okay with it. Works as a palate cleanser between heavier reads!

I won‘t say much about this since it doesn‘t publish until Sept. 10th 🤐🙊🫢 BUT! I will say that I give it a strong ‘Pick‘ and that once you finish this book you‘re going to want to flip back to page 1 and re-read it 🕵️‍♀️🔎👣👣👣

TheKidUpstairs I love Hallett's mysteries, they're always so much fun to unravel! Glad to hear she's still on form! 3mo

Aims42 @TheKidUpstairs Oh for sure! I can‘t imagine what her writing process is, how she can weave a story together with just emails, texts, etc is simply astounding 🤯 There was a note from her editor in my ARC that included a line that said, “My job, 5 books in, is to trust her” 😆 It‘s a wild ride, per usual lol 3mo

LiteraryinPA I‘m excited for this one! So far I like The Appeal the best. 3mo

Aims42 @LiteraryinLawrence Same here, that‘s my favorite too 😄🙌 3mo

Is it possible to be burned out on a Monday? Or is there a different term for what I‘m feeling 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Celebrating that I made it through the day with a little wine and some ARC reading time 🙌 Hoping tomorrow is less dumb 🙄🤞

Prairiegirl_reading Burned out on a Monday is a regular occurrence for me! 3mo

Aims42 @Prairiegirl_reading ♥️♥️♥️ Really hoping tomorrow is better. Or maybe it‘s Mercury being retrograde? 🤔 3mo

SayersLover I call them the “post weekend blues” when you just don‘t want to go back to work, or you are worn out from the weekend, etc. Then you force yourself to go to work and your day gets worse from there for no apparent reason. Hope your week improves @Aims42 3mo

mcctrish Absolutely and I think you made good choices at the end of the day 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

jlhammar Can‘t wait for this one! 3mo

Aims42 @SayersLover I think that‘s it! My weekend was kinda full with family stuff so no real downtime and then yeah, work stuff kept piling up 😕 Today was a little better, but it still feels like it‘s been 2 weeks since I posted this 🤣 3mo

Aims42 @mcctrish Lol, Littens are the BEST! You guys always have my back ☺️😍🥰 3mo

Aims42 @jlhammar I‘ve only read her first book and then this one, but this is real good! I like the email and instant message format, it‘s been easy to escape reality while reading this 😁 3mo
