4.5

I love the format that @janice.hallett uses to tell the stories she writes. In her latest novel, The Examiner, the mystery is pieced together from MA level coursework and communications. This style creates an unreliable narrator since you are only seeing the story unfold in communication formats. In this novel, the unbiased course examiners are trying to determine if a student went missing during the course and if it was a case of normal withdrawal or something more sinister.

I really enjoyed this read and recommend this book, along with Janice’s other novels if you have not read them.

Thank you @atriabooks for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
