After having read The Twyford Code last year by Janice Hallet, I was really looking forward to reading The Appeal - her first book. However, whilst I did enjoy parts of it and got through it pretty quickly I’m still a bit lost. The mixed media approach to tell the story was intriguing and exciting at first but as multiple plot lines emerge the crossovers between them begin to tangle. I found it a little hard to piece together what actually happened, but I believe I’ve got the gist in a roundabout way. I would recommended anyone interested in this book to annotate and mark, even make notes as you go as you could get seriously lost in this and there are lots of riddles to uncover
