FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE APPEAL

'An absolute original' - MICK HERRON

'Hallett at her very best' - ELLY GRIFFITHS

'A slice of genius' - LOUISE CANDLISH

Six Students. One Murder. Your Time Starts Now...

The mature students of Royal Hastings University's new art course have been trouble from day one. From acclaimed artist Alyson who seems oddly overqualified, to hapless Patrick who can barely operate design software, and city boy Cameron who blusters his way through assignments. Not to mention Jem, who's a gifted young sculptor... but cross her at your peril.

The year-long course is blighted by students setting fire to one another's artwork, a rumoured extra-marital affair and a disastrous road trip. But finally they are given their last assignment: to build an art installation for a local manufacturer. With six students who have nothing in common except their clashing personal agendas, what could possibly go wrong?

The answer is: murder. When the external examiner arrives to assess the students' coursework, he becomes convinced that a student was killed on the course and that the others covered it up. But is he right? Only a close examination of the evidence will reveal the truth. Your time starts now...

'Witty, creepy and oh-so-clever' - TOM HINDLE

Reviews for The Examiner: the Sunday Times bestseller from the author of The Appeal

Completely immersive and addictive - within pages I was in so deep I started to believe I was one of the students myself. Another slice of genius from Janice -- Louise Candlish, author of OUR HOUSE I loved this puzzle box of a story... Just when you think you know you're presented with a fresh, infinitely intriguing perspective -- J.M. Hall, author of A SPOONFUL OF MURDER A fun, exciting, exhilarating read. Just couldn't put it down! Janice Hallett has produced another sure-fire winner -- Abir Mukherjee, author of A RISING MAN My favourite so far of Janice Hallett's novels. Charming, hilarious and very dark. Absolutely loved it -- Emma Curtis, author of ONE LITTLE MISTAKE Janice Hallett has done it again. The Examiner is a witty and clever whodunnit that will keep you gripped and guessing until the end. With a wonderful cast of memorable characters, and lots of unexpected twists, I couldn't put it down. Absolutely brilliant -- Alice Feeney, author of DAISY DARKER An absolute masterpiece... Janice Hallett just gets better and better -- Lisa Hall, author of BETWEEN YOU AND ME Another masterclass of character, and slight of hand deception. The Examiner is as intricate and clever as all of Hallett's novels. I inhaled it in 48 hours -- L.V. Matthews, author of THE TWINS PhD level mystery-making from Janice Hallett... Mind-bending brilliance -- Leonora Nattrass, author of BLUE WATER Another brilliant brain twister, with a delightfully beguiling premise and fiendishly clever narrative structure that kept me guessing at every turn. Grade: A+ -- Philippa East, author of LITTLE WHITE LIES Brilliant characters, such a clever plot and just so many laugh out loud moments. Hallett captures higher education so well. A truly unputdownable read -- Heather Darwent, author of THE THINGS WE DO TO OUR FRIENDS Janice Hallett is not only the queen of black comedy, but also a writer who conjures a complete character in a single line... Hilarious and horrific -- Kate Griffin, author of FYNESHADE So clever. So addictive. The Examiner is an absolute masterclass -- Victoria Dowd, author of THE SUPPER CLUB MURDERS I could not put this book down... Twisty, gripping, utterly brilliant. The best book I've read this year and my favourite of her novels yet -- Rachel Louise Driscoll, author of NEPHTHYS
