*** FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE APPEAL ***

'Agatha Christie for the 21st century' - THE TIMES
'The queen of tricksy crime' - SUNDAY TIMES

Six Students. One Murder. Your Time Starts Now...

The students of Royal Hastings University's new Multimedia Art course have been trouble from day one. Acclaimed artist Alyson wants the department to revolve around her. Ludya struggles to balance her family and the workload. Jonathan has management experience but zero talent for art. Lovely Patrick can barely operate his mobile phone, let alone professional design software. Meanwhile blustering Cameron tries to juggle the course with his job in the City and does neither very well. Then there's Jem. A gifted young sculptor, she's a promising student... but cross her at your peril.

The year-long course is blighted by accusations of theft, students setting fire to one another's artwork, a rumoured extra-marital affair and a disastrous road trip. But finally they are given their last assignment: to build an interactive art installation for a local manufacturer. With six students who have nothing in common except their clashing personal agendas, what could possibly go wrong?

The answer is: murder. When the external examiner arrives to assess the students' essays and coursework, he becomes convinced that a student was killed on the course and that the others covered it up. But is he right? And if so, who is dead, why were they killed, and who is the murderer? Only a close examination of the evidence will reveal the truth. Your time starts now...

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A.Ma.Zing

I love Janice Hallett. Ever since I read The Appeal. This book is no different, I was hooked from the start. I literally couldn't stop listening to it. I loved the full cast, it gave it a sort of 'soap opera' feel but better. Yes the story was far-fetched but it is pure escapism and really reels you in. RECOMMEND

Unusual

Unusual and thoroughly enjoyable book, written as a collection of message board and WhatsApp messages. I’m glad I listened to rather thañ read the book as the cast did a great job.

Wonderfully acted and absolutely loved it.

Riveting from the beginning and the little doors which open throughout giving that little bit of insight to the plot are wonderfully done. Loved it and will listen to again in future as am sure there’s bits I didn’t pick up on!

Another ‘Page Turner’

Having read Janice Hallett’s other books in print I was worried that the messaging style of the text would make for a stilted audiobook. So glad it had multiple narrators as that kept it completely comprehensible and pacy. Loved the twists. Highly recommend

How to do an audiobook.

I've listened to a few audio versions of Janice Hallet's previous books but after having read them first. This time I went straight to audio and it was excellent - the cast were amazing, really engaging (and some dislikeable) characters with a plot that keeps you second guessing to the end. As usual the story unfolds through WhatsApp and message boards, this time in a very recognizable academic environment. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Every bit as brilliant as the other books!

I’ve listened to all the other titles and just like those I was gripped by this book from start to finish. It’s such an intriguing mystery and unlike other books of this genre I don’t guess what the twists are or how it ends! Can’t wait for another now…

The author did it again!

As exciting as her first book. The others were good too but she was able to put together an incredible story. Highly recommend. Narrators are exceptional.
