A Great Cozy: The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels

The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett is a smart and fast-paced cozy mystery and a highly recommended title for your post-holiday period (the book is expected to be released in January 2024).

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.

The mystery is written in a clever way and the reader needs to pay attention to details. Having said that, overall, this is a light read and can be finished in one sitting. The drip of information is masterfully managed and this keeps the reader turning pages and craving for more to uncover the mystery…The Mysterious case of The Alperton Angels is a true page-turner that’s highly recommended to cozy mystery fans.
