I liked how everything tied together in the end I saw some of the threads coming together pretty early on, but not all of them. But we still had some unanswered questions I would have liked answered.
I'm glad that this book was a bit more diverse than his other thrillers. Since a lot of UK adult thrillers don't have queer characters, and sometimes no POCs either, this had both!
I guess I just felt a bit unsatisfied with the ending and not getting more answers on the serial killer and whether the book really tells the future question.
Overall a great edge-of-your-seat thriller. Though I'd recommend reading an eBook or a print copy if possible, I may have missed something listening to the audio.

There were too many characters who all had their own chapters for the POVs. This made it hard to remember each character and made it hard to connect with them.
This may have been a better experience reading a physical book, but that’s not an option for everyone. I gave up halfway through with trying to understand and just accepted I’d be confused the whole time

Katie Shaw and her brother Chris are estranged after Chris goes off the deep end following his attempted murder by a random attack. Her mother believes that Chris is now clean, but also has someone after him. The past haunts Katie, Chris, and the family of a long dead serial killer in this thriller with twists that’ll excite you.
I don’t like to go into much detail about thrillers, because it’s more fun to figure things out for yourself. The Angel Maker was fun, and I enjoyed trying to piece everything together. My one question is: why does nobody lock their doors? I lock my doors in complete peace, I’d definitely lock my doors if I had a stalker/murderer after me.
Thank you to Celadon Books for the chance to read this advanced review copy. Pick up a copy for yourself and see if you can follow the twists this family thriller brings.
