* 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?©2026 Janice Hallett (P)2026 Profile Books Limited Amateur Sleuths Cosy Crime Crime Thrillers Genre Fiction Murder Mystery Small Town & Rural Thriller & Suspense

Excellent plot and cast! Izzy is so well read! Now I have to refresh “the Appeal” Great book

Great listen

At first (on the first book in the series) I struggled with audio, as I found the email style quite annoying, but enjoyed it much more on this second book. I love the different strands of the story all leading to the outcome, and guessing not only who did it, but who was murdered. I hope there's a 3rd book in the series!

Great cosy Mystery

Some familiar characters from The Appeal but lots of new ones and this was better than the first. Great storyline, characters and pace. Really sad to have finished it. Takes a bit of concentration but so worth it.

Totally loved this!

Great follow on from The Appeal. Enjoyed all the twists and turns and trying to work out who was murdered and who might be a murderer. Excellent cast.
