I have adored The Appeal and was very excited to read a short book set in the same parish, with similar character. Femi and Charlotte are as good as the first time and their deductive skills help solve the crime.
I liked the story line and enjoyed the reading experience.

I really liked the format of this book, it was something I haven't read before and it made it go quickly. I do think the mystery could have gotten started a bit earlier in the book as it felt somewhat hastily wrapped up.

I felt exactly the same way about this as I felt about The Appeal. Enjoyed the puzzle, wanted to strangle many of the characters.

This book takes place in the same town as The Appeal and follows some of the same characters during the rehearsals for their Christmas panto and someone turns up dead.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a great, quick Christmas read that kept me constantly turning the pages. There were some great plot twists in this book and I really liked the ending. I do think that, similarly to The Appeal, this book had a little too many characters in it and I did get a little confused at points who was who.
Overall though this was another great book from Janice Hallett and I can't wait to see what she comes out with next!
