Gela Nathaniel, head of Royal Hastings University’s new Multimedia Art course, must find six students from all walks of life for her new master’s program before the university cuts her funding. The students are nothing but trouble from day one.

If you haven’t yet experienced Janice Hallett’s writing, go now!! Her formatting and storytelling is so unique and intricate, I must see what the inside of her mind looks like!

All that said, THE EXAMINER is only my second read by Hallett, but it was such a wild and engaging time.

Hallett writes epistolary novels - everything is told to us through letters, emails, texts, reports, etc. which makes for an extremely interesting read especially in the world of mystery!

In addition to having to read between the lines, we have to choose whether or not to trust what is being said in this media - making it the ultimate reader as detective experience.

Hallett also has a twisted mind, which really shows in this story, and she throws in some twists that will have you questioning everything!

Definitely recommend picking this one up!

Thanks to Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
