The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett
4.0
Although this is probably even better appreciated by those families with Hallett's earlier book The Appeal, I came to it with no prior knowledge and was still entertained.
Told through a series of emails, letters, texts, and chat threads, we follow the progress (or implosion?) of a community theater production of Jack and the Beanstalk, complete with small town drama, gossip, and eventually...murder.
To be honest, I've never been much of a fan of novels in this format but it's handled well, maintaining consistent, clearly differentiated voices
Fans of cozies, Noises Off style farces, and quirky small town character ensembles like The Gilmore Girls will surely enjoy this.
