The Angel Maker
by Alex North
Thank you to MacMillan audiobook for the review copy of Angel Maker by Alex North. I think this might be a book that is better for me as a reader in physical form as compared to an audiobook; the production and voice acting are fine but it's just a confusing plot with a lot of timeline issues/characters to track and this is a kind of book that rarely works for me as an audiobook. So take my review for what it is, a comment on a story that might be great but might not be the best for audiobook.
what worked: an interesting plot for fans, like me, of the serial killer genre and general suspense fans. I admit I wouldn't say this is a thriller per se, a bit too slow burn for me to say it has a steady thriller suspense vibe, but it did make me wonder what was going on/how the story would resolve.
Themes on philosophy/fate and family bonds and connections are also welcome and well developed so this is a book that could foster some interesting discussions!
rating: 3 star audiobook, 4 star narration/acting style, 4 star plot potential.
