The Examiner

Bookseller recommendation

“I love books like this with interesting formats. This one makes you believe you are getting the full story until you find out there's more to be seen. Once more is revealed, you find yourself going back over lines with a different view point and gasping with an 'A-ha!' I thoroughly enjoyed that this book kept me guessing up to the end. Just when I thought I'd figured it out and knew the whole story, an even more twisted twist would happen! If you're like me and you can easily deduce the twist in the usual mystery stories, than this book is for you. This novel kept me guessing to the very end as well as kept me very much entertained!”

“While I've read many mysteries, this was my first epistolary novel, and I found it both intriguing and thoroughly enjoyable. An external examiner must grade the coursework for 6 diverse students in a MA class in London. When the examiner begins to feel something is wrong and uncovers a possible murder, the twists begin and you will never see them coming! Five stars! ”

“This book is read by a full cast and has great sound effects. I can truly say that I did not see it coming. I had no idea what was going to happen. Lots of twists and turns, wonderful cast of characters, a complicated story that pulls you in from the beginning. You find out what is happening through emails, texts and diary entries read in the voice of the person making them. Super entertaining! Definitely recommend. ”

“Reading a Janice Hallett book is like taking a trip to somewhere you've never been without a map. This book is not exception. Using email, text messages, class note and more, I was sucked into the story so quickly and enthralled until the last page. I called a coworker and she had not read. Ugh. I had to wait a month for her to then call me late one night and say, OMG, I see why you NEEDED to talk about this book. We spent an hour and both decided to read again. Great.”
