The story is told using vocal messages and it took me a bit to be hooked as the transcription of the messages was sometimes a bit hard to understand.
I was enthralled by the story, the clues and the story of the inner-city kids and their travel.
I wasn't sure if what I was reading was reliable or if Steve, the main voice, was creating a possible story.
I loved this story that kept me guessing and I liked the final part.
It's a riveting and entertaining story.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I did read to the end, hence two rather than one stars in my rating and I do concede that the ending was interesting. Unfortunately, I felt its method of getting there did not engage me in the slightest. I realise that so many others have thoroughly enjoyed this and found it very clever. I do enjoy crime fiction as a form of escapism(very useful over the past two years!) but I think I will give “mysteries” a miss. When I saw a review mentioning Agatha Christie meeting Enid Blyton, I should have known; neither would be my choice. I also find the concept of the unreliable narrator somewhat overdone currently; it seems a bit of a fad and I hope it doesn’t last. I will not bother with this author’s other book.

Forty years ago, Steven Smith had found a discarded copy of a book written by disgraced children’s author, Edith Twyford. Steven is unable to understand the strange markings and annotations in the book’s margins. So he shows it to his Remedial English teacher, Miss Isles. This sets off a chain of events that reverberates down to the present day.
Miss Isles becomes convinced that the book contains messages that form a secret code that has been scattered throughout Twyford’s novels. She eventually takes her small class of five, including Steven, on an outing to visit Twyford’s seaside home. During the trip home Miss Isles disappears and Steven has no memory of how.
Her disappearance has haunted Steven. Following his release from a prison sentence, he is determined to discover the truth. His quest is recorded as a series of audio files created on his estranged son’s smartphone.
This story is primarily presented via transcripts of these files, complete with amusing transcription blips. Steven has a unique take on life, the universe, and everything and proved a delightful protagonist.
It’s fairly obvious that Edith Twyford and her Super Six books were inspired by Enid Blyton. The extracts included from Twyford’s stories were spot on with respect to the style of Blyton’s adventure books for children.
I found ‘The Twyford Code’ an intriguing and wickedly complex mystery. There is also plenty of humour scattered throughout the transcripts along with references to other books.
‘The Twyford Code’ was an instant hit with me.
Very highly recommended.


The author uses the supposed machine transcription of voice recordings on a phone presented in short bursts of text to build the story, the characters and attempting a few cliff hangers. I found the style quickly became tedious. There you have it, tedious. I had no desire to read to the end and discover any of the answers that might be there. I have no idea how things turned out.
Many other readers have enjoyed this work so there must be something in it that I missed

I really enjoyed Janice Hallett's innovative debut novel, "The Appeal", but this second book is even better.
On the face of it, "The Twyford Code" is about a former prisoner, Steven Smith, looking back on a significant moment from his childhood: Steven comes across a book by the famous writer of children's fiction, Edith Twyford (based very obviously on Enid Blyton). The teacher of Steven's remedial English class, Miss Isles, is convinced that there is a secret code that runs through this and other books by the same author. She even takes the class on a trip to Dorset to visit the home of Edith Twyford. During the trip, Miss Isles disappears, but Steven's memory won't allow him to remember the details surrounding that day. Having been released from prison many years later, Steven starts to look into his teacher's disappearance and also the veracity of the mysterious Twyford Code.
As she did in her debut, Janice Hallett takes an unconventional and original approach to constructing this novel. This time around she makes use of the medium of voice recordings as the vehicle for the narrative. If you are the kind of person who likes your reading material to be full of flowing prose, then this will probably not be the book for you, as you are likely to find it irritating. However, for those who enjoy seeing a writer trying something fresh and different that both challenges and engages the reader in an unorthodox way, this will be a welcome breath of fresh air. Yes, it is likely to take you a little while to become accustomed to following the format relatively fluently, but once you have, you can really begin to appreciate the degree of craft, and also the wit, that has gone into the structure of the content.
There is something very satisfying about a complicated mystery that (ultimately) actually makes sense. "The Twyford Code" has been so cleverly assembled and the eventual unravelling of the mystery is an absolute joy. This may not be one for conservative traditionalists, but that aside, if you are a keen reader of the mystery genre, then I would urge you to add this to your reading list. I don't give out many 5-star ratings for book reviews, but "The Twyford Code" absolutely deserves that mark and I am already looking forward to book three from Janice Hallett.
