JANICE HALLETT
Janice Hallett is the author of six Sunday Times bestselling novels, most recently The Killer Question and The Examiner. Her smash-hit debut novel, The Appeal, was a Waterstones Thriller of the Month and won the CWA Debut Dagger Award. The Twyford Code won the British Book Awards Crime and Thriller Book of the Year, and The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels was a Richard and Judy Book Club pick. She lives in West London.
It’s a new theatrical season in Lower Lockwood, and the amateur thespians of the Fairway Players are starting rehearsals for their production of Agatha Christie’s The Hollow. Despite divisive new arrivals, countless petty jealousies and a near fatal accident with the lighting rig, surely this will be their greatest show to date?
But someone isn’t going to make it to opening night. Could it be producer Sarah Jane’s mysterious sister, lately arrived home after twenty years abroad? New member Lucas, whose shady business dealings may be his downfall? Or perhaps once-convicted murderer Issy Beck, recently acquitted but still up to her old tricks?
Lawyers Charlotte and Femi must sift through the emails, texts and police
reports to identify the victim and find out why the person convicted of the
murder refuses to speak out in their own defence… Will they uncover the truth in time? Will you?

‘Hallett perfectly delivers her signature wit and sharp observations of character in her new brilliant novel. I have never read a writer who is so adept at capturing people – their traits, flaws and how they communicate with others.’
L.V. Matthews, author of The Twins
