A review by mmccombs
The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett

mysterious fast-paced

3.0

I was looking for something bite sized and Christmas-y and this was bite sized and like vaguely Christmas-y, so I’ll call that mostly a win. I didn’t know that this was a spin off of an original book, so I probably would have liked this more had I read The Appeal first, but it was still decent. I liked the deduction from documents approach, it felt very fresh while retaining the classic whodunnit vibe. I can’t say this will stick with me, but it was a good way to spend an afternoon.
