The Twyford Code: A Novel by Janice Hallett. Atria Books, 2022. Adult mystery.Over forty years ago, a teacher shared a children's book with her class. When she goes missing, the memories of the children are all different about the story and about what happened. Now Steven Smith, one of the students, is out of prison and decides to investigate the mystery of long ago.
Told mainly through a series of phone transcripts, the plot involves several of the grown students. The slow burning plot fills in details of some of the questions, but poses others. Did author Edith Twyford really hide clues to a bigger mystery in her children's books? Has Steven put together a new take on the old questions? Readers will find red herrings galore. Clues are here, but is the solution?
