Janice Hallett makes her triumphant return to Lockwood in this much anticipated sequel to her record-breaking bestselling debut The Appeal
* THE HUGELY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE SMASH-HIT BESTSELLER, THE APPEAL * A New Play. Another Murder. Who Will Speak the Truth? 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?
This is pure catnip for mystery readers, like the national treasure she is, Janice Hallet has done it again. This is the absolute pinnacle of modern crime writing -- Ian Moore, author of DEATH AND CROISSANTS
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. Absolutely stunning -- L.V. Matthews, author of THE TWINS
The mystery is so good that I failed at almost every step. It twists and turns, it made me laugh many times, and gasp at others... Another absolute triumph from one of my all-time favourites -- Chris Frost, author of THE KILLER'S CHRISTMAS LIST
So many laugh out loud moments with Hallett's classic wit. Truly one of our best modern crime writers -- Heather Darwent, author of THE THINGS WE DO TO OUR FRIENDS
A brilliantly observed, utterly gripping mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end -- A.J. West, author of THE BETRAYAL OF THOMAS TRUE
A brilliantly constructed puzzle that kept me second-guessing every character and clue. Smart, darkly funny and fiendishly plotted, Janice Hallett once again proves that she is a master of misdirection -- Guy Morpuss, author of A TRIAL IN THREE ACTS
A triumphant return to Lower Lockwood. The Silent Appeal makes you feel like a detective sifting through the evidence and even when you get it wrong, that's part of the fun. Hallett's best book yet -- Tariq Ashkanani, author of THE MIDNIGHT KING
I didn't think it was possible to beat The Appeal, it was so good, but this was even better. It pulls you along, is full of red herrings, and ends with a twist. I absolutely loved it -- Louise Mullins, author of ONE NIGHT ONLY
