North nails it again with this nail-biter! This thriller features a stunning and well-built cast, and maybe even a bit of magic!

Not as good as the author’s first two books, which were excellent and gripping from the start. This one drug on and was difficult to get through. Interesting concept but not what I was hoping for or expecting from this author

Alex North is one of the few authors who can send chills up and down my spine - "The Angel Maker" is no exception! A must-read for all Scandanavian horror fans.

This was a very split book for me. The main plot setup was so interesting, I love serial killer talk. However, there were a lot of characters to keep straight. Certain characters fell flat while others stole the show. This highlights several philosophical principles and hints at the plot twists along the way. Not my favorite book. Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy.

This was a very intelligently written serial killer novel. North has hit it out of the park again!! This book kept me guessing and fully invested until the chilling conclusion.

I adored the author's "The Whisper Man" very, very much, and although it was just a few years ago, it seems like a lifetime,, KWIM? Anyway, very happy to get my hand's on an early DRC of his latest, "The Angel Maker" - it's a detective thriller, but with strong horror & supernatural elements along with some "deep thoughts" - and I quite enjoyed that it derivated from the ho-hum formulaic thrillers that are so ubiquitous these days. I also enjoy how he really captures the English settings so very well in his books. Loved the big sister MC Katie & the detective is also very well written. Recommend highly. My sincere thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for the complimentary DRC -0 all ratings & options are my own.

Alex North has establish a solid place on the horror bookshelf and The Angel Maker is a worthy addition. While not my favorite of North’s it still provides plenty of chills, intrigue, and mystery to keep you up at night flipping pages.
Part family drama, part mystery/thriller, and part supernatural horror, the author is able to strike the right balance to appease a fan of any of the genres.

Another great read from Alex North!
The Angel Maker has it all - serial killer, philosophy, revenge, family dynamics all wrapped up in a tightly woven police drama/suspense novel.
I really can't say much without giving away major plot twists, but be sure to pay attention to everything.
It was a little confusing at first with the characters and how they relate to one another, but it all tied in at the end.
Highly recommend, especially if you liked The Whisper Man and The Shadows!
