2 out of 5 stars

i found this book to be quite underwhelming. didn’t feel a particular anything towards anyone. however— this can possibly be due to not reading the appeal first. while it was said its okay to read this book without reading that one, i’m sure reading the first would make this one a more enjoyable experience. nonetheless, the format made it interesting!

✨ "Theatrical people say, 'The show must go on.' Well, that is true of life, is it not?"

Janice Hallett kills it once again!

The Appeal is one of my all-time favourite mysteries and a spin-off felt like an early Christmas gift. Despite being just slightly over 200-pages, this book was brimming with intrigue, tension and drama. I loved it all!

No one does epistolary whodunits like Janice Hallett and this one certainly kept me guessing. Even though it didn't blow my mind as much as her previous works, I enjoyed every moment. Can't wait for her next!!!
