The Angel Maker by Alex North
4.0

4/11/23 Update:

All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thanks to Netgalley and Celadon Books for an ARC!

This is Alex North's 3rd novel that I have read as it came out and I really enjoyed it! I don't think anything will ever hit like The Whisper Man did, though. The story was rather slow paced but I was excited to find out what was going to happen. The story follows a few different story lines, both in the past and the present. The one big critique I have is in the book's description it states ".... a notorious serial killer who was said to know the future" and I was disappointed to find out that this storyline didn't get flushed out. I won't say anything that might spoil why, but while it was alluded to, it wasn't explored like I wanted to when I read that. I really enjoyed the last serial killer fiction story involving time and like seeing the theme again. Overall, I enjoyed reading it and will still pick up his next book! I just can't stay away from a potentially great thriller!
