' Gripping. I loved the ambitious and unusual approach' - SOPHIE HANNAH' This is a case you' re about to become obsessed with. A triumph' - ALEX NORTH' Intriguing, clever and wholly original. A rare feat' - ELIZABETH HAYNESIN A TOWN FULL OF SECRETS SOMEONE WAS MURDERED. SOMEONE WENT TO PRISON. AND EVERYONE' S A SUSPECT. CAN YOU UNCOVER THE TRUTH? Dear Reader,Enclosed are documents relating to the events surrounding the Fairway Players' staging of All My Sons, and the tragic death of one of its members. Another member is currently in prison for the crime. We have reason to suspect that they are innocent, and that there were far darker secrets that have yet to be revealed. We believe that the killer has given themselves away. It' s there in writing, hidden in the emails, texts, and letters. In the events surrounding the charity appeal for little Poppy Reswick, and the question of whether that money was truly being used to fund her life-saving cancer treatment. Will you accept the challenge? Can you uncover the truth? Do you dare? The standout debut thriller of 2021 that delivers multiple brilliant twists, and will change the way you think about the modern crime novel.
Very gripping. I loved the ambitious and unusual approach -- Sophie Hannah, bestselling author of Haven' t They Grown The Appeal grips from the start, expertly stage-managing emails and messages to create an intriguing mystery with a cast of vivid, memorable characters. Original, clever, devious - and never less than utterly compelling - this is a case you' re about to become obsessed with. A real triumph -- Alex North, bestselling author of The Whisper Man Takes the whodunnit to a whole new level. Intriguing, clever and above all, wholly original. A rare feat indeed, and to be savoured -- Elizabeth Haynes, author of Into the Darkest Corner One of the most enjoyable books I' ve read all year. Extremely addictive, it will reel you in, one piece of evidence at a time. Ingenious and highly original -- Alex Pavesi, author of Eight Detectives Fiendishly clever, highly original and totally gripping -- Cass Green, bestselling author of In a Cottage in a Wood Brilliantly crafted, The Appeal is a refreshingly different take on the modern crime novel. Full of suspicion and secrets, I raced my way to the end - and what an ending! -- Lisa Hall, author of The Party What a cracking book. Fresh, original and very clever -- Mel Sherratt, author of Taunting the Dead Brilliantly original, inventive and clever. I loved this book and you will too -- Phoebe Morgan, author of The Doll House Highly original with characters that leap off the page. An addictive read -- Michelle Frances, author of The Girlfriend I loved this - it' s utterly compulsive and unlike anything I' ve read in a while. It is such a cliche to say it, but I genuinely could NOT put it down. Bravo -- Katie Lowe, author of The Furies A very clever novel that puts you in the place of an investigator. A hugely enjoyable challenge and a most original book -- Jane Lythell, author of The Lie of You A totally original take on a thriller - intriguing and dark but with a dash of humour - I raced through it -- Catherine Cooper, author of The Chalet A wonderfully revealing portrait of how we communicate - what we hide and show of ourselves. It' s sharp, funny, a brilliant game, and once you start playing you won' t be able to stop -- Rachel Elliot, author of Whispers Through a Megaphone So cleverly written. I felt like I was a trainee lawyer sifting through evidence and trying to discover the culprit. It was exciting, fresh, and forces the reader to be an active investigator. I loved it -- Louise Mullins, author of I Know You What a book. Right up there with the best I' ve read this year. Great characters, smart structure, and kept me guessing all the way to the end -- Dan Malakin, author of The Regret A brilliant hybrid of Agatha Christie and Silk -- Guy Morpuss QC
