Recensione

This dazzlingly clever cosy crime novel in emails completely trumps Richard Osman... Hallett uses the epistolatory form to superb effect in this terrific debut ― Sunday Times

Agatha Christie for the 21st century. A dazzlingly clever murder mystery, told via emails, about sinister goings-on in an amateur dramatics group ― The Times

Witty, clever and completely addictive ― Mail on Sunday

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 ― Evening Standard

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 ― Metro

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 -- Elly Griffiths, bestselling author of The Postscript Murders

Very gripping. I loved the ambitious and unusual approach -- Sophie Hannah, bestselling author of Haven't They Grown

[A] daring debut... Hallett will soon have you laughing out loud... The Appeal is clever and funny ― The Times

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

-- Diane Setterfield, author of Once Upon a River

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 -- India Knight, author of In Your Prime

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 -- Alex North, bestselling author of The Whisper Man

Takes the whodunnit to a whole new level. Intriguing, clever and above all, wholly original. A rare feat indeed, and to be savoured -- Elizabeth Haynes, bestselling author of Into the Darkest Corner

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 -- Alex Pavesi, author of Eight Detectives

Wholly original, constructed as delicately as a spiderweb, and as heartfelt as it is intelligent, I could not stop reading The Appeal

-- Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street

Fiendishly clever, highly original and totally gripping -- Cass Green, bestselling author of In a Cottage in a Wood

Sly, funny, perfectly observed and clever. A superior and sophisticated Midsomer Murders packed with delicious red herrings -- Kate Griffin, author of Kitty Peck and the Music Hall Murders

What a book. It has galvanised me to do better! Exceptional -- Matt Wesolowski, author of Six Stories

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 -- Mark Edwards, bestselling author of The House Guest

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! -- Lisa Hall, author of The Party

What a cracking book. Fresh, original and very clever

-- Mel Sherratt, author of Taunting the Dead

Brilliantly original, inventive and clever. I loved this book and you will too -- Phoebe Morgan, author of The Doll House

Ingenious and page-turning traditional crime given an original twist... like a modernised Agatha Christie -- Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time

Highly original with characters that leap off the page. An addictive read -- Michelle Frances, author of The Girlfriend

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 -- Katie Lowe, author of The Furies

A very clever novel that puts you in the place of an investigator. A hugely enjoyable challenge and a most original book -- Jane Lythell, author of The Lie of You

A totally original take on a thriller - intriguing and dark but with a dash of humour - I raced through it -- Catherine Cooper, author of The Chalet

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 -- Rachel Elliot, author of Whispers Through a Megaphone

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 -- Louise Mullins, author of I Know You

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 -- Dan Malakin, author of The Regret

A brilliant hybrid of Agatha Christie and Silk -- Guy Morpuss QC

I haven't enjoyed a book this much since Standard Deviation. Congratulations, Janice Hallett! -- Louise Voss, author of The Last Stage

Fantastic. Gives you that deliciously satisfying feeling of reading other people's private emails -- S.V. Leonard, author of The Islanders

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

-- Michael Wood, author of The Seventh Victim

Highly original... for a first novel it is a tour de force ― Crime Review

Descrizione del libro

Described by The Sunday Times as 'A modern Christie', this is an extraordinarily inventive crime debut in which the reader is challenged to solve the crime... and predict the victim.

Very original

Recensito in Italia il 16 gennaio 2022

This was truly something else… and I applaud the author for coming up with such a unique format.

Two apprentices working for a lawyer are tasked with the assignment to uncover the murderer of Samantha Greenwood. But how? It's simple, by checking 1400 personal e-mails and text messages from suspects, during the time before her murder.

After reading this book, I am hesitant to pursue my career as a detective because I had no idea who the killer was. Especially because each of the 15 suspects (yes, you read well) had a good reason to kill Sam. And yes, I suspected them all at one stage.

Although there isn’t any action in this book, there’s plenty of drama, and it was very interesting to have the story unfold just by reading through the correspondence.
Most of what went on outside the e-mails was left to the imagination, and to gather more information you had to read between the lines. In the end, I had all the details I needed to solve the case, but I still couldn't.

On the downside I felt the book could have been shorter. Many e-mails flew over my head… and I had no idea if they were going to be important to solving the case. It was hard to keep track of who everyone was and how they were connected, even though you get a detailed list of all the characters. It had me flipping back and forth between the pages which was time consuming.
Also, reading over 400 pages of correspondence at times felt like a chore and I craved some real interaction between the protagonists!

But it’s certainly worth picking up, if you want an Agatha Christie style thriller and fancy yourself a sleuth!

Absolutely dire......

The first night I started reading this I couldn't put it down. The format meant that the reader doesn't know what, if any, crime has been committed and I was keen to find out. However, after the second session reading it I was finding the format very trying, I couldn't keep track of the huge cast of characters and was just frustrated. In the second part of the book the two people reviewing the evidence (firstly described as first year law students and then as articled clerks, so even the author was confused!) communicated like teenagers trying to be adults (or like the author trying unsuccessfully to write younger characters!) and the fact that they were involved at all was totally unbelievable. I ended up finding the book frustrating and the story, and the apparent collusion between characters, not credible in any way. After the promising start it turned into one of the worst books I have ever read and I felt that it should have had an awful lot more editing than it did, if, indeed, it had been edited at all! How it ever became the Sunday Times thriller of the year is beyond me....

What a tour de force.

This was so original. The way, even from emails and texts peoples characters are drawn. The shafts of humour. A whiff of the supernatural.

Loved it. Oh, and if you are reading this on a kindle take a couple of pictures on your phone of the 'The Fairway Players', very helpful in remembering who is who.

So many congratulations to the author.

Much confusion

Like the curate’s egg good in very occasional parts. But mostly like a fair isle knitting pattern with cable stitch. Too many characters, plot over complicated with characters pretending to be other characters and in the end I had lost the will to care who had done what.

Ridiculous

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 9 aprile 2021

Acquisto verificato

I can’t think of a book I’ve enjoyed less. How is a reader to know what they are reading it for if so much is left to the last page. Normally a lawyer asking two people to review evidence would tell them that such and such a person was murdered on such a date, and that another named person was found guilty of the crime. The lawyer would then provide a transcript of the trial and other evidence from letters and emails for them to review. Here the reader knows nothing of the apparent crime (although I twigged the fraud very early on) until two thirds of the way through the book. Apart from that I agree totally with the worst review that there are far too many characters without even a chart at the front to remind us who is related to who. And the format of emails is completely frustrating. Many of them contain content that is utterly irrelevant. And on my kindle some pages contained more of the headings , from, subject, to, date, etc than actual content from the body of the email! I can’t fathom why so many people rave about the book. I can only think that we now live in a culture where people are reading their emails on their phones more than proper books and so this for them was heaven!!

Clever, original satirical mystery

I started reading Janice Hallett's The Appeal on the recommendation of a friend who told me she'd stayed up reading it until 1am because she couldn't put it down, and I have to say that I was similarly gripped.

On the face of it, The Appeal shouldn't be anything like the page-turner that it is. It's not a fast-paced thriller. There's no lurking serial killer, no police work, no espionage, no detective, none of that. For most of the book, we're reading a substantial pile of emails, text messages and press clippings relating to a provincial amateur dramatics society. These documents are part of a QC's evidence bundle for an appeal against someone's murder conviction, but we aren't even told who the supposed victim is, let alone who is is in prison.

That means it's up to us to piece together what's happened from the content and tone of the conversations available. It becomes clear that the wealthy, middle-class Hayward family, who own a local hotel and health club, are at the centre of their social circle and are the driving force behind the Fairway Players. Martin Hayward runs the group and, along with his son James, directs the shows, while his wife Helen and daughter Paige are the perennial leading ladies while everyone else is vying for the best supporting roles, both on and off stage. When Martin and Helen's two-year-old grandchild, Paige's daughter Poppy, is diagnosed with a brain tumour, their friends and hangers-on immediately form a committee to crowdfund an experimental new treatment from America.

Meanwhile, Fairway Players stalwart Issy Beck has introduced two new members to the group. Issy is a nurse on a geriatric ward and is delighted when her new colleague Sam Greenwood and her husband Kel agree to audition. Sam and Kel have just returned from volunteering in Africa with Medecins Sans Frontieres but why did they leave? And what's their connection with Poppy's doctor?
Creative writing students are often instructed to 'show, not tell' when it comes to their characters and Janice Hallett is certainly an absolute master of this. With only the characters' own words to go on, we can immediately start to build up a clear picture of each of them and of the group dynamic. Issy's excitable, over-enthusiastic and almost childlike emails have a clingy, obsessive note to them. The bossy, capable tones of Sarah-Jane McDonald, who as a former charity sector fundraising manager is naturally best placed to assume the mantle of campaign coordinator for A Cure for Poppy are spot-on - sometimes persuasive, sometimes hectoring. Martin Hayward is confidently authoritative while his son, James, takes a softer and more theatrical tone. And - importantly - what isn't said is often as revealing as what is.

Every character is acutely well-observed, as are the social interactions between them, the constant low-level battle for status within the group and the rapidity with rumours and speculation spread from one to another. It's as much a satire on the nature of certain types of social group as it is a puzzle to be solved and it is frequently very funny.

I'm sure some readers may not take to the way the story is told, or to the gossipy pettiness of so many of the characters' interactions - it has a very parish council feel to it, and there are definitely characters who would not accept that Jackie Weaver has any authority here, so you will occasionally have a strong urge to punch them. But I'm fascinated by this kind of very English, microcosmic story and while I'm delighted that I never have to spend time with these people in real life, I was delighted to observe them from afar.
