This book is a chilling thriller. This book had me on the edge of my seat and time and time agin Alex North proves to be someone who sends chills up spines. I personally wouldn't say that this book is a typical thriller per se but more as a crime/detective novel with thriller and horror elements tied in. The story contains elements of philosophy, family bonds, the paranormal, and a serial killer. Certain parts of this story are very creepy like making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up type of creepy(which I loved and hated because I absolutely cannot handle horror but this was too good to resist). Alex North also as always provides a thought inducing plot that has a bunch of things that makes you make your friends read so that you can all talk about it and exchange ideas. All I can say is Fans of ''The Whisper Man'' and ''The Shadows'' are going to absolutely love ''The Angel Maker''.
