Returning to Lower Lockwood, THE SILENT APPEAL reunites readers with amateur thespians the Fairway Players who 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? Bodies in the Bookshop is delighted to welcome Janice to Cambridge. She is the multi-award-winning author of six Sunday Times bestselling books including The Appeal and The Twyford Code, and her novel The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels was a Richard and Judy Book Club pick. Janice will be in conversation with Cressida Downing. Come along to hear more about her work!
