Book: Angel Maker
Author: Alex North
Pages: 336
This is my 123rd read for the year
Here is what Amazon has to say about this book:
Growing up in a beautiful house in the English countryside, Katie Shaw lived a charmed life. At the cusp of graduation, she had big dreams, a devoted boyfriend, and a little brother she protected fiercely. Until the day a violent strager changed the fate of her family forever.
Years later, still unable to live down the guilt surrounding what happened to her brother, Chris, and now with a child of her own to protect, Katie struggles to separate the real threats from the imagined. Then she gets a phone call: Chris has gone missing and needs his big sister once more.
Meanwhile, Detectie Laurence Page is facing a particularly gruesome crime. A distinguished professor of fate and free will has been brutally murdered just hours after firing his staff. All the leads point back to two old cases: the gruesome attack on teenager Christopher Shaw, and the despicable crimes of a notorious serial killer who, legend had it, could see the future.
This was an okay book. I do like Alex North - I have read his other two books, but this one wasn't as good as those in my opinion. I liked the idea, and some of the characters. And I did like the ending - how they wound what seemed like two separate stories together. But the rest of the book seemed so disjointed that the ending didn't make up for the middle.
