The Appeal - Janice Hallett

 

58%

The first two-thirds of this was an entertaining and perceptive skewering of middle-class middle-Britain, inventively told through emails and text messages. But once the crime finally happened, it seemed that the author (or her publisher) lost confidence in the narrative style and instead felt the need to tell, not show, readers what to think. The context for the sudden change didn't even make sense and undermined everything that had gone before. I demand an appeal!
