Angelmaker

Product Information

North's writing itself is smooth and enticing, and doesn't waste time on side plots that go nowhere or overly descriptive passages that are in the long run irrelevant: he cuts right to the chase most of the time, and even with several POVs (usually a red flag), I was eagerly flipping pages during the opening 40% of the book and loving all of the backstory and philosophizing going on. They reminded me of Somerset and Mills' detectives in Se7en, who are just played by a man pulling their strings!

So if you need a code name for this book, and it's the kind of book that might in some eventuality need a code name, you could do worse than Angela Merkel: a biography, by Nips Harpy.Ergo, I think it's no coincidence that Harkaway (still not his real name) felt he had some solid ground upon which to stand while surveying the fatness of Reamd. Instead of blowup doll models on page three, England would prefer to see Ronnie Kray, his arm slung around a tipsy chorine. Thank you to Alex North, Macmillan Audio, (narration by Rosalie Craig, and NetGalley for the ability to listen to this story Which will publish on February 28, 2023. With a winding and multi-layered plot, this creepy tale from Alex North delves into the paranormal, the mind of a serial killer, and plays with the notion of time and predestination with not one but two families tied together. A tragical-comical-historical-pastoral novelist, if you like; or – more precisely in the case of this second book – a fantasy-gangster-espionage-romance novelist.

Thirty-something Katie Shaw is a caring teacher with a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and a shaky marriage to her childhood sweetheart.All in all - others love ‘Angelmaker’, people I know personally love it with an astonishing fierceness and I'm confused because not only did I not love it I can't even use my usual 'But I see why other people might love it. In the meantime Chris is a missing person and now there are more lives at risk but the detective really has no understanding what is really happening only knows that he must continue to follow the dots before more murders occur under his watch! The only way he can survive, is to muster the courage to fight, help Edie complete a mission she gave up years ago, and pick up his father’s old gun.

When she arrives home to police cars, lights and an active investigation, she's horrified to learn her kid brother had been viciously attacked. It's probably because he is fixing her tyre, and in a position so absolutely compromised and vulnerable that it's clear he does not propose to do her harm. I did not enjoy the pov of a certain 2nd generation angel maker because he was a psychotic zealot with tunnel vision.This elaborate conversation exactly demonstrates the fun, the challenge and the problem in Harkaway's writing.

It challenges you as well as keeps you reading on, gripped in the depths of an engrossing and intelligent plot.There are many other extremely important players revolving around this murder which as the story unfolds there seems to be a connection to each and every character connecting the past to the present.
