The Examiner

4.25 stars  Mystery told through mixed media (emails, chat transcripts, school online platforms) following the students of a newly created master in multimedia art from their first assignments to their final group project which takes a turn for the worst. 
Janice Hallett wrote yet another great puzzle box mystery ! In her usual style of mixed media, she crafted a fast paced, page turning mystery full of twists and compelling (with good and bad traits) characters. I also really liked the academic and art world setting.   The plot was clever and so many of the twists really surprised me, some in a positive way while others I was less interested in or I couldn't suspend my disbelief enough. It wasn't my favourite of her books (The Appeal and The mysterious case of the Alperton Angels are still on top) but I certainly preferred it to The Twyford Code which I didn't really gel with.  I won't get into any plot points as to avoid the many spoilers there is for this book.  Still I had a great time reading this and I'll be looking forward to read her next book as always.
