The Angel Maker
by Alex North
2.5 stars
I really enjoyed The Whisper Man & The Shadows by Alex North, so I was stoked to pick up The Angel Maker. Alas, this one was a miss for me.
My chief complaint is that the story was quite convoluted. We follow a lot of characters, numerous cases, and intertwining timelines. Things get mucked up pretty quick. Like, I'm not sure I could describe what this was about in a concise manner. I think the story could have benefitted from further development of characters in place of some of the plot elements.
At the end of the book, there were things I felt went unaddressed, and I didn't get the feeling of everything being wrapped up. Maybe some of this just went over my head, but I was left confused at the end. There was also a supernatural element kind of randomly inserted into this that was never really explored or developed much.
In conclusion, I'm still confused lol
Thank you to Celadon Books and Netgalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest review.
