Alan Hobbs is a wealthy man, and a dead man. What makes his death a bit odd is the fact that he fired all of his staff the day before his death, leading many to wonder if he somehow knew what was to come. As detectives dig into Hobbs’s life, they discover connections to some old cases, cases involving a serial killer who, according to legend, could see the future, and the gruesome attack on a teenager, Chris Shaw. Matters are further complicated when Chris goes missing, and the detectives aren’t the only ones who want to find him.
While I enjoyed The Angel Maker, it didn’t live up to the expectations I had based on North’s prior two novels. The basic story was intriguing and twisted, but it didn’t have me on the edge of my seat, even at the end. It also seemed like there were a couple of characters that were almost unnecessary; that or the story should have been longer and a little more complex. I also expected a little more about the actual Angel Maker.
