Just not for me. The most impressive aspect of this book was how the premise (still fascinated by it) managed to motivate me through one of the thickest (unnecessarily so) plots I’ve come across. By the end it felt like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube that is missing a colour. Just didn’t work for me and felt more frustrating than satisfying.
Massive thanks to Celadon books for sending me an ARC!

Alex North has another winning thriller with “The Angel Maker”. This book is eerie and full of mystery and twists – everything I love about a psychological thriller. Time is a paradox within this book.
“The Angel Maker” is an excellent thriller for people who love a good mystery about a serial killer and all things dark and terrible, but do not like too much gore. North did an excellent job of telling the story of horrific things, without being so detailed as to take away from the story. Every time you turn around there is another facet to the story and mysteries within. It is told through multiple POVs and jumps around in time (or does it, since time is just a concept?), which while I thoroughly enjoyed, it may not be for everyone as it could become confusing. There are a lot of moving parts and characters. Everything is weaved so perfectly together in the end.
This was a very solid book that I would not mind reading again. Alex North is an auto read for me and he didn’t disappoint this time. I will be recommending this book to all of my thriller lovers!

Had a lot of potential, but there were too many plot lines and characters, which made it confusing and ultimately unsatisfying.

This one took a bit to get into. It wasn't really the plot as much as the POVs in the beginning being a bit dull. The police in this one aren't as interesting as the officer in the other 2 books. I found their chapters hard to get through. Everyone else was pretty interesting
