Being called “the Agatha Christie of the 21st century” has to be amazing, right? In addition to feeding your ego and improving your bank accounts, it’s nice that literary critics put you on the same level as the great master of the detective genre. Well, that is what is happening to Janice Hallett, a British journalist, screenwriter and author of mystery novels who debuted in 2021 with The appeala novel that became the second best-selling debut fiction in the United Kingdom that year. Since then she has been considered the new queen of cozy crime, a kind of subgenre in which, in addition to mystery, a friendly and good-natured tone that usually emanates from the noir genre predominates.
