JANICE HALLETT kills it playing pub trivia and creating twisty plots with loads of laughs on Ep. 9 of My Bookcase Slays

Janice Hallett masterfully creates a world using text threads, pub quiz results, and emails in her newest book, A Killer Question. I’m a fan of Hallett’s books, and I couldn’t wait to hear her describe what inspired this latest one. All her characters are criminals, each of them play a role in one of (or more!) the mysteries spanning 3 timelines in A Killer Question. Why did Sue and Mal’s country pub, The Case Is Altered, permanently close in 2019? Who are the Shadow Knights, and why does their trivia team keep winning every weekly trivia game? What blew up Sue and Mal’s previous career path in 2014? Whose body was discovered in the river near The Case is Altered and who is responsible for their death? And how on earth does Hallett convey her twisty plot and marvelous characters using ONLY texts and emails as a narrative device? P Bonus: In a Sudden Death round, Janice answers TWO final questions for ALL THE POINTS!
