I've been a big fan of Alex North since the beginning, and The Angel Maker is possibly my favorite of his books yet (judging by some reviews, this might be an unpopular opinion). I found this to be a really quick moving story, broken up by fairly short chapters and a variety of perspectives telling the story. The connections between the characters become apparent slowly, and there are some exciting reveals throughout that clarify and deepen the story. There is a quiet horror to this book, with terrible things happening to characters both on and off the page and a deep legacy of violence. Despite the many characters, there is a decent amount of character development, but I wouldn't say this is one that is meant for character driven readers. There's a very satisfying conclusion to this story, and this was a compelling whirlwind to read.
