The feel-good place to buy books
The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett
The new genre-busting crime novel from the author of The Appeal and The Twyford Code.
What is remarkable is Hallett's ability to make her characters come alive.. combined with her undoubted skill as a plotter, this places Hallett's books in the rare category of rereadable whodunnits * Telegraph *
What a treat to be back in a world created by the machiavellian Janice Hallett ... Another cracking mystery from a highly original author * Observer *
A cunningly wrought puzzle with a nice streak of black humour * Mail on Sunday *
There is no one better at drip-feeding information, heightening tension and springing surprises * The Times (star pick) *
Janice Hallett, the author of The Appeal and The Twyford Code, is on a roll... [A] quirky, clever tale * The Times (Best Books of 2023) *
I'm agog at the skill with which Hallett uses her unconventional storytelling method, not just in unfolding the plot and springing surprises, but in building up memorable characters. Character and plot, wit and creepiness, are all in perfect balance. It's another resounding success * Daily Express *
Undeniably clever and captivating, and delivers a brilliant twist that will delight fans of her previous books * Sunday Express *
A gripping read, which keeps the reader guessing until the last page * Independent *
As ever, the author's control of the material is masterly * Guardian *
Hallett's gripping novel dares the reader to beat Amanda to the dark and twisted truth * Daily Mail *
Sharp humour and playfulness entertainingly coexist * Financial Times *
The indefatigable Janice Hallett is back with another ingenious-sounding brain twister * Metro *
Hallett structures her novels as dossiers of found documents, transcripts and other evidence, leaving the reader to try to find the real story among unreliable narrators' statements. That process appeals to the journalist in me, which might explain why I read about 80 percent of this in a single sitting. It clearly also appeals to a lot of other people * New York Times *
Mind-meltingly complicated, fiendishly well plotted, replete with delicious snark about publishing, clear-eyed and very funny about cold-blooded writerly ambition ... In its assured dexterity and exuberance, it is a bravura performance * Irish Times *
God bless Janice Hallett and her especially twisty thrillers that, if you work even a shred of detail out, you feel amazing. Her third novel is brilliant * Belfast Telegraph (Book of the Month) *
