1.27.2022 - The Appeal

The Appeal by Janice Hallett

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful book by Janice Hallett - 4.5 stars rounded up!

A local theater group, The Fairway Players, is preparing for a production of Arthur Miller's, All My Sons, when tragedy strikes the founding family.  Director Martin Haywood and wife, Helen, the star, have a granddaughter, Paige, who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.  The family, troupe and community gather together to raise the needed money to procure needed medicine from the US for Paige.  

Told in the form of all types of communications - letters, texts, emails, post-it notes, we learn that there has been a murder and someone is in jail.  Two law students are presented with all the correspondence and are tasked to figure out exactly what happened and who is responsible.  This is such an intriguing way to read a mystery and I was pulled in from the first email!  There is a big cast of characters all with secrets and ulterior motives.  You will try to solve the mysteries as you follow along with the law students as all the information is presented - good luck and enjoy this creative tale!
