INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

“[An] ingenious jigsaw puzzle of a book...highly entertaining.” —The New York Times

“The queen of found footage thrillers.” —Julia Bartz, New York Times bestselling author

A whip-smart and “fast-paced mystery” (The Daily Telegraph, London) from the internationally bestselling author of The Twyford Code and The Appeal about a true crime journalist who revives a long-buried case about a cult—and finds herself too close to the story.

Everyone knows the story of the Alperton Angels: the cult who brainwashed a teenage girl into believing her baby was the anti-Christ. When the girl came to her senses and called the police, the Angels committed suicide and mother and baby disappeared.

Now, true crime author Amanda Bailey is looking to revive her career by writing a book on the case. The Alperton baby has turned eighteen; finding them will be the scoop of the year. But rival author Oliver Menzies is just as smart, better connected, and also on the baby’s trail.

As Amanda and Oliver are forced to collaborate, they realize that the truth about the Angels is much darker and stranger than they’d ever imagined, and in pursuit of the story they risk becoming part of it.

There is virtually no prose here, it is all first person viewpoints in text messages, email messages, WhatsApp, messages, and a few newspaper articles. So it reads like a series of conversations. Takes a little getting used to, but the story is complex and ultimately engrossing. Even satisfying. Good narration by all.

Almost wish I had just read this instead of listening. The narrative is a bit confusing when listening as almost an audio drama - the story is pretty intriguing but I found myself lost at points due to the shifting narrative played by the same actors.

Ok story - bad execution?

The story was initially a little difficult to follow, the various types of documents described and learning the characters, but when the pieces starting coming together I could stop listening. The voices for the story were excellent as well. I can usually predict the ending of mystery novels, but I was thoroughly shocked by this one. I will definitely recommend this to others and look forward to reading the author’s other books.

And kept me there. I really needed the distraction today and I was able to fully inhabit this story. Thank you Janice. You have made Dystopia Day that much more tolerable.

This and The Appeal by Janice Hallett were both so enjoyable to listen to. I don’t know how they would read as a book, but they are so well acted and I didn’t have a hard time following along bc of the detail given and the voice acting. More of these please!

Audiobook ideal

This book has a really cool structure in that the way that its parts come together is clever and satisfying. I found it to be a bit weirdly paced, though. A lot a lot happens at the end and very little happens in the middle parts.

Masterfully constructed

Unique Approach.

I was a bit skeptical as I started listening, I disliked the format at first, with the way the story is built on pieces of communications, the inclusions of emoji especially annoyed me, but I quickly came around as the story began to take shape. It is really a great story, and it is well told, and the narrators are wonderful also.

Very enjoyable listen, well and uniquely written and haunting

Janice Hallett can’t write a book that I don’t love. I order her books from England as soon as they come out and then have to wait a year for the audiobook. I love the narrators and the story is just as good the second time.

Not sure if I liked it or not! I didn’t like it at first, then started to like it. I thought how it was structured was interesting.

Hmmmm
