I should start by saying that I'm a big fan of Hallett's work. I enjoy the intrigue and cleverness of her mysteries.

So when I heard she was revisiting the world of the Appeal for Christmas, it was a no-brainer.

We are again given the story in an epistolary manner, with emails making up the majority of the text. The emails are again humourous and enjoyable.

The Christmas Appeal is shorter than its predecessor and it does show in that there is less depth and a less interesting mystery.

However, it's still a great read that I highly recommend.

Many thanks to Janice Hallett, Netgalley, and Viper for this copy..

I was going to give this one 2 stars because overall I didn’t care for it, but there were some good moments that I can acknowledge. 3 stars it is.

The audiobook has a full cast which is fun! It’s a super short cozy mystery and really easy to get through.

This one is for the theater kids. There is a murder and a body is found during a live performance.

We see emails and interviews to determine who the killer is/what happened to the victim.
