The Examiner by Janice Hallett

fast-paced

5.0

Janice has done it once again. This was one of my most anticipated reads of this year, and I was lucky enough to get an ARC on netgalley. (Thank you, Netgalley). 

This is one of the best books I've read this year, maybe even my new favourite. 

We follow 6 students who have been hand selected for an MA degree in Art. They all have their own personal and secretive backgrounds. The twists and turns that this book took, I swear, gave me whiplash. Once, I thought it was going in one direction, and I was figuring out what was going to happen, it went totally somewhere else. The revelations around 70% had me hooked. 

To be fair, the whole book gripped me, it's so easy to read as it's all in multimedia, even though I found it hard to follow at times (a me problem not the book) I just went and reread it 😅 

Such an intense and gripping read. Go read it. Well, when it's out on 29th August 2024!
