Codigo Twyford, El
Codigo Twyford, El | Janice Hallett
4 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
Edith Twyford was once a world-famous children's author, but now her only legacy is the rumoured existence of the Twyford Code: a series of clues hidden in her books leading to... what? No one knows - but that hasn't stopped the speculation. Steve Smith can trace nearly all the bad things in his life back to Edith Twyford. As a child he found one of her books, covered in strange symbols. He showed it to his teacher, Miss Iles, who was convinced it held the key to the code. Within weeks Miss Iles had disappeared, and Steve has no idea if she is dead or alive - or if she was right. Now he's determined to find out. But the Twyford Code hides secrets some would do anything to possess, and Steve isn't the only one on its trail. The race is on to solve the mystery of the century. Could you get there first? The top ten bestselling cosy crime sensation of the summer from the author of The Appeal, perfect for fans of Richard Osman and S. J. Bennett.

I loved this! It's incredibly clever, a brilliant use of the epistolary format, but also with heart and depth.

I recommend the audiobook, especially if you're in the States, because the American edition of the book has changed out a lot of the British slang. (Needlessly and quite destructively, especially given the author's intent.)

Ruthiella I hate it when they edit the British-ism out for the American market. Completely unnecessary, IMO. 1y
AlaMich @Ruthiella It‘s quite insulting to the intelligence. 1y

Moods: Books about books, Treasure Hunts, Full Attention Required

Janice Hallett‘s debut work was a fun ride and this second book from her is no different. You can‘t skim because even the smallest bit of dialogue or what seems like a minor detail can have a huge ripple effect. A good pick!

BookmarkTavern You had me at books about books! ❤️ 2y

I‘m trying to use the library more, BUT what‘s a person to do when The Appeal has a waitlist?

Buy the author‘s backlist on Book Depository, apparently!🤣 I also saw she has a new one, The Christmas Appeal, coming out next October. 🎄🎅🏼
