Recenzii
What is remarkable is Hallett's ability to make her characters come alive... combined with her undoubted skill as a plotter, this places Hallett's books in the rare category of rereadable whodunnits
What a treat to be back in a world created by the machiavellian Janice Hallett ... Another cracking mystery from a highly original author
A cunningly wrought puzzle with a nice streak of black humour
There is no one better at drip-feeding information, heightening tension and springing surprises
Janice Hallett, the author of The Appeal and The Twyford Code, is on a roll... [A] quirky, clever tale
I'm agog at the skill with which Hallett uses her unconventional storytelling method, not just in unfolding the plot and springing surprises, but in building up memorable characters. Character and plot, wit and creepiness, are all in perfect balance. It's another resounding success
Undeniably clever and captivating, and delivers a brilliant twist that will delight fans of her previous books
A gripping read, which keeps the reader guessing until the last page
As ever, the author's control of the material is masterly
Hallett's gripping novel dares the reader to beat Amanda to the dark and twisted truth
Sharp humour and playfulness entertainingly coexist
The indefatigable Janice Hallett is back with another ingenious-sounding brain twister
Hallett structures her novels as dossiers of found documents, transcripts and other evidence, leaving the reader to try to find the real story among unreliable narrators' statements. That process appeals to the journalist in me, which might explain why I read about 80 percent of this in a single sitting. It clearly also appeals to a lot of other people
Mind-meltingly complicated, fiendishly well plotted, replete with delicious snark about publishing, clear-eyed and very funny about cold-blooded writerly ambition ... In its assured dexterity and exuberance, it is a bravura performance
God bless Janice Hallett and her especially twisty thrillers that, if you work even a shred of detail out, you feel amazing. Her third novel is brilliant
The author has garnered many fans since her debut The Appeal, and this will delight them... Featuring two true crime writers battling it out to get the best scoop, a cult, and mysteries galore, this had me obsessed
A richly rewarding, blisteringly clever read that raises questions about human gullibility in all its forms, while still moving forward propulsively
A gripping read to the very last
A must-read for anyone who loves a good Netflix doco or podcast on cults and conspiracy theorists
Another clever mystery from the author of The Appeal
Such an original concept you can't help but be fully absorbed in trying to solve the mystery
Many-layered, highly complex, and imaginative... Hallett shocks readers with satisfying twists and a dark, unpredictable ending
Hallett's fans and newcomers alike will relish this brilliantly constructed and eminently satisfying mystery
Stylish fiction that also stands as a cautionary tale about what can happen when a writer gets too close to her subject
Her best so far... Deeply intriguing, warm and so much fun
It's not enough to say that this book is fascinating, gripping and clever. It's an astonishing piece of work. Janice Hallett is playing a different ball game to the rest of us
The queen of the narrative twist. She takes the conventions of the modern mystery novel and upends them as Christie did. And the themes of this book are haunting
Hallett has made the epistolary crime novel her own. An engaging crime tale using her unique narrative style. Inventive, absorbing and hotly anticipated by her legion of fans
Janice Hallett has done it again. Engrossing from the very first page, it's deviously clever and as charming as it is chilling
Hooked me in completely... It's travelled with me to work, to the dentist's and even up a couple of mountains! A real treasure trove of a read
Compelling, unputdownable, filled with Hallett's trademark fierce intelligence and kindness, this is the most intricate, spellbinding and befuddling mystery I have read in years
Fantastic. Keeps the 'found footage' narrative structure that Hallett does so well and injects some real darkness into it
Trade mark brilliant. I loved the witty story telling, that mix of text, the layered plotting, the characters both unreliable and highly engaging. And that quiet wing beat of evil driving the story ... Extremely clever, compelling and very chilling
Janice at her absolute best - an intricate and surprising plot which keeps you turning the pages, interspersed with gentle but laugh out loud humour. I absolutely loved it - my favourite Janice Hallett book yet
Hallett continues to evolve the modern detective novel. Absolutely gripping
Smart, witty and menacing - everything you want from a mystery. Utterly brilliant!
Agatha Christie has found her heir. A genius premise. A perfect puzzle. Crime fiction fans will not want to miss this one!
A unique and completely immersive novel about manipulation, and seeking the truth at all costs. An absolute triumph in storytelling
I loved The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels. It's fresh, whip-smart, dark and intriguing with a brilliant, compelling heroine. Janice Hallett is surely the queen of the brain-twisting, just-one-more-page mystery novel
Constantly surprising, witty and fresh. I really enjoyed it!
Compulsive, dark, twisty and unputdownable. A work of true genius, masterfully plotted, funny and unique
Sinister and utterly compelling
Hallett has done it again! Brilliant, clever, and will have you hooked and guessing throughout
It knocked me sideways. Just as brilliant as you would expect from Janice Hallett. Twisty as a labryinth and so gripping I cancelled plans to finish it
A clever, complex epistolary novel with explores our fascination with true crime, cults and storytelling itself
Janice Hallett is a murder mystery mastermind. A new Agatha Christie for the modern age. This book is sure to grow her already considerable cult following
I absolutely loved it. A brilliantly crafted proper mystery, I couldn't put it down
Is anyone telling stories quite like Janice Hallett? It feels interactive, with readers invited to solve the mystery alongside the brilliantly tenacious protagonist. Intricate, funny and a total page-turner
Hallett is a wording wizard. Her storytelling ability is enviable. Characters whom I loved very quickly and intrigue are the beating heart of this book.
What a switchback ride it is! The big twist made me drop my book but there are so many smaller shocks along the way. I enjoyed it hugely!
Janice Hallett dials her brilliance up yet another notch, exploiting the compulsive readability and inherent slipperiness of her chosen form to dazzling effect
I was absolutely mesmerised by The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels - stupendously clever, but also brilliant fun, with characters that just jump off the page
I absolutely loved it. It is the funniest, cleverest and most innovative novel I've read for years
Absolutely loved The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels. So gripping but also has real emotional heart. Bravo
Very clever, twisty, shocking, and yet another reinvention of the crime novel by Janice Hallett. Brilliant, unique and compelling!
An outstandingly clever, compelling and unique read. Pitch-perfect story told in the most innovative way
Wickedly clever and immersive. I just can't get enough of Janice Hallett's writing
I genuinely don't know how Janice Hallett does it. The detail, the plot twists, the humour, even in dark places - she creates a brilliant puzzle for the reader to solve. I loved it
A masterclass. It's exactly what you've come to expect: compelling written and utterly addictive. It's funny, dark, and the puzzle comes together brilliantly at the end
Brilliantly clever, ingenious in structure and throughly compelling. Full of wonderful characters and extremely funny!
I slowed down because I didn't want it to end. Heavenly and creepy combined with twisted genius. Outstanding
What an absolute treat. Twisty and dark, packed full of angels and demons and monsters, with a thrilling mystery that keeps you guessing till the end
It's so good. Gripping but my favourite thing is the humour - actual laugh out loud moments despite the shocking tale. Genius
Another absolutely brilliant mystery by one of my favourite crime writers. Take the role of investigator and let yourself be immersed in this fantastic novel. Five stars!
What a compelling, complex, utterly gripping read. Hallett's cast of characters - both major and minor - are fully formed and so integral to the unfolding plot
Fiendishly clever. I am so impressed. Bravo!
Fans of true-crime podcasts will find this complex and eerie novel just as satisfying, surprising and rapidly consumable as their favorite episodes
