Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels

Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels | Janice Hallett

Compelling and extremely clever mystery told in epistolary format, possibly the darkest and least playful Hallet has written. Tip: do not read the table of contents, there's a spoiler.

Recommendation: morally dubious.

Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels | Janice Hallett

This left me unsettled. Not cozy, by any means!
Told through text msgs, emails, & interview transcripts (as is Hallett‘s MO) it is a riveting read about true crime authors investigating a mysterious cult-ish crime that has taken on mythic qualities in pop culture. Love the way we learn info via the messaging format & the story is enthralling. I have mixed feelings RE: the ending…maybe because I didn‘t expect to feel disquieted by the ethics posed…

Texreader Excellent review. Sounds intriguing 13mo

batsy An intriguing review! Been meaning to give this author a try. 13mo

Does Janice Hallett need any new friends? This was such a fun book. I love how Hallett uses the epistolary style to unfold such an intriguing mystery and does it with such humour & style! Hallett is such a unique writer and I can't wait for her next one.

LiteraryinPA I loved her other 3 books and just borrowed this one from the library! Hope I like it as much as you did! 13mo

janeycanuck @LiteraryinLawrence I ended up a bit disappointed in the Twyford Code but her style is just so awesome. Hope you enjoy! I still need to read The Appeal and think she has a new one out in September?! 13mo
