Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster | Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest mystery novel by the one and only Janice Hallett. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Sue and Mal Eastwood run an isolated rural pub called The Case is Altered where a weekly trivia game has revived its flagging fortunes—that is, until a body is found in the nearby river. Soon after, a mysterious new team arrives and shakes up the diverse field of regulars by scoring top marks in every round...every week. Five years later, the pub lies derelict, and their nephew Dominic is determined to make a documentary about their story. What happened at this unassuming pub? And can a single question really kill?
Janice Hallett is the master at the epistolary novel, where the story plays out in the form of email and text messages, interviews, and lists. I am always blown away by the depth of planning this must take and I am never able to figure out the mystery before the end. This one had multiple storylines going on at once, but never fear, everything comes together at the explosive end. As always with her novels, I was hooked and intrigued from the beginning to the end. Don't miss it!
