I am a huge fan of Alex North and will read anything they write. I was incredibly intrigued by the premise of this book and was very excited to read it. While this did not end up being my favorite Alex North book, it is still very much worth a read.
Katie Shaw grew up living a very charmed life until a violent attack on her younger brother changed the course of her life and her family forever. She has put the pieces of her life back together and now has a child of her own. He life seems to be going well until she gets a call that her brother is missing and needs her again. At the same time, there is a violent murder of a professor that seems to tie to the attack on her brother all those years ago.
I love how North is able to tie together the past and the present to create a beautifully woven story. North is a master at creating a cohesive and emotional story over multiple timelines and does not disappoint with The Angel Maker. Where this story differs for me from North’s previous books it in the connection to the characters. In North’s previous books I have been deeply attached to the characters which has created stories I cannot forget. I found with the Angel Maker, I was not particularly attached to the characters. While the was enjoyable while I was reading it, it was ultimately forgettable.
