The Appeal by Janice HallettMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Appeal by Janice Hallett has you reading a case with some law students to see if there is any basis for an appeal. You don't know who is in jail or who even died. You learn everything as they are fed documents to read and form their theories. I didn't always agree with what they thought about evidence which was an interesting exercise in itself. Three people can look at something and interpret it in three different ways. How does that affect a legal system? This case happens to involve a group of community theater people. How good is their acting? Good enough to get away with murder?
Janice Hallett writes some of my very favorite mystery books. I like them so much because they are written in an unconventional epistolary fashion that parcels out clues via a variety of narrators and formats. There is also a good bit of humor involved. So while there is murder, it isn't a gruesome read for those that might be squeamish.
