Depending on how it’s written, I certainly enjoy epistolary books told through documents & letters. Janice Hallett has a knack for delivering clever mysteries told entirely through documents, texts, email, and other forms. I loved The Appeal when it came out in 2021 & I read The Christmas Appeal, her 2023 holiday novella, back in…
