BOOK BLURB

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.

MY REVIEW

Amanda is a true crime author looking for a scoop. She researches an old case of a dangerous cult where the surviving members were a teenage girl and her baby. The baby would now be 18 years old, and Amanda hopes to locate them for her book.

The story is told using emails, text messages, letters, and other documents. I really enjoy this writing style, and this author does it well.

A clever, multi-layered mystery. Recommended for fans of true crime and epistolary novels.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
