The Appeal by Janice Hallett
4.5
Honestly, this book was a dark horse for me! I didn’t expect to make it past 40 pages but I was in from start to finish.
The layout of reading correspondence and other documents was done very well, and I kept want to read just one more email. Though I will say that while I was waiting for an actual murder to happen, I did get a bit impatient.
The way this mystery was unravelled was clever, intriguing and kept my brain working all through. When I had a theory, something new came up and shook it. At the end I was half right and half wrong, which led to a great mic drop reveal!
