Recenzii

This dazzlingly clever cosy crime novel in emails completely trumps Richard Osman... Hallett uses the epistolatory form to superb effect in this terrific debut
Agatha Christie for the 21st century. A dazzlingly clever murder mystery, told via emails, about sinister goings-on in an amateur dramatics group
Witty, clever and completely addictive
This witty thriller is giving Richard Osmond's Thursday Murder Club a run for its money in the cosy crime stakes, as it continues to charm readers. Hallett's debut, set in a sleepy town where an am-dram production of All My Sons is in the works, is funny and full of twists. Amateur sleuths and thespians alike will love it
It's hilarious, intriguing and absolutely unputdownable
This ingeniously conceived whodunnit encourages the reader to turn detective in a murder case set against the backdrop of an amateur dramatic club. Brain-twistingly clever
If you're looking for a crime novel that is very different but very satisfying I thoroughly recommend The Appeal by Janice Hallett. I loved it
The whole thing is a delight... Teasing out the mystery in the madness is nearly as fun as searching for the solution
A breath of fresh air in the thriller market. Cleverly constructed - because it is not only about what is being said, but also about what is not being said - it is peopled with characters who are both believable and relatable, including a murderer hidden in plain sight. A literary triumph
Very gripping. I loved the ambitious and unusual approach
[A] daring debut... Hallett will soon have you laughing out loud... The Appeal is clever and funny
This debut mystery from British author Hallett is a kick: a whodunit epistolary novel in which a pair of young lawyers sort through a mountain of emails, messages and letters to try to sort out a mysterious death in an amateur theatrical troupe
I couldn't put it down. [Hallett's] take on the epistolary novel is so involving AND funny at the right moments. Puts the reader right in the thick of it, as we become the spyware eavesdropping on all these private emails and messages. Brilliant idea and SO cleverly executed
If you're looking for something insanely gripping to take to the sofa with, then run to The Appeal by Janice Hallett. It's a brilliantly fresh, ingenious and original whodunnit that is heading to the top of the bestseller chart if there's any justice. So, so good
The Appeal grips from the start, expertly stage-managing emails and messages to create an intriguing mystery with a cast of vivid, memorable characters. Original, clever, devious - and never less than utterly compelling - this is a case you're about to become obsessed with. A real triumph
Takes the whodunnit to a whole new level. Intriguing, clever and above all, wholly original. A rare feat indeed, and to be savoured
One of the most enjoyable books I've read all year. Extremely addictive, it will reel you in, one piece of evidence at a time. Ingenious and highly original
Wholly original, constructed as delicately as a spiderweb, and as heartfelt as it is intelligent, I could not stop reading The Appeal
Fiendishly clever, highly original and totally gripping
Sly, funny, perfectly observed and clever. A superior and sophisticated Midsomer Murders packed with delicious red herrings
What a book. It has galvanised me to do better! Exceptional
Fresh, funny and impossible to put down. The Appeal is about an amateur dramatics group and an appeal to raise funds for a sick child and it's brilliant
Brilliantly crafted, The Appeal is a refreshingly different take on the modern crime novel. Full of suspicion and secrets, I raced my way to the end - and what an ending!
What a cracking book. Fresh, original and very clever
Brilliantly original, inventive and clever. I loved this book and you will too
Ingenious and page-turning traditional crime given an original twist... like a modernised Agatha Christie
Highly original with characters that leap off the page. An addictive read
I loved this - it's utterly compulsive and unlike anything I've read in a while. It is such a cliché to say it, but I genuinely could NOT put it down. Bravo
A very clever novel that puts you in the place of an investigator. A hugely enjoyable challenge and a most original book
A totally original take on a thriller - intriguing and dark but with a dash of humour - I raced through it
A wonderfully revealing portrait of how we communicate - what we hide and show of ourselves. It's sharp, funny, a brilliant game, and once you start playing you won't be able to stop
So cleverly written. I felt like I was a trainee lawyer sifting through evidence and trying to discover the culprit. It was exciting, fresh, and forces the reader to be an active investigator. I loved it
What a book. Right up there with the best I've read this year. Great characters, smart structure, and kept me guessing all the way to the end
A brilliant hybrid of Agatha Christie and Silk
I haven't enjoyed a book this much since Standard Deviation. Congratulations, Janice Hallett!
Fantastic. Gives you that deliciously satisfying feeling of reading other people's private emails
An utterly compelling whodunnit putting the reader at the centre of the action. A must read for thriller fans. A blistering, page-turner of a debut
Highly original... for a first novel it is a tour de force
Will have you reading between the lines to discover whose hands are covered in blood
