Hallett also kept up such a clever and sharp well-maintained contrast between the narratives - with such cheek and sharp clever dialogue and banter that made it easily convenient for me to notice the difference in the character's personalities - and still, all the while, having the allure of mystery and a very dreary and haunting chill to the past scenes that gripped my attention till the very end. It’s incredible how the characters can come alive when their stories are told through a mixed-media format but the author manages it expertly. Facing dead ends and obfuscation at every turn in their attempts to investigate the cult and the related deaths, Bailey and Menzies reluctantly agree to combine their resources in an attempt to track down the key players and determine what really happened.

I was born, grew up and still live in Northolt, a London suburb Transport for London considers to be in Zone 5. They are both equally driven, equally intelligent and equally committed to and passionate about what they do.Amanda is determined to find the baby before anyone else, hoping that the exclusive scoop will revive her struggling career. It’s all quite tangled, which makes for a satisfying read and for me, one of Ruth’s best investigations. The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels is a dark, twisty mystery and I loved how the puzzle pieces slowly slotted into place.

It’s very deathly (pardon the pun) quiet since their debut murder solving, and there’s nothing of excitement on the horizon bar the upcoming wedding of Sir Peter Bailey to his nurse, Jenny Paige. Bailey is the central character and focal point of the various communications that comprise the story, and she’s an intriguing character from the outset.We are—well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on his bestseller World War Z (2006). I appreciate books that do this dossier format, here though I felt like the reader needed to want to play detective in a way that I never do in mysteries. A lot of coincidences had to pile up to make the story as bizarre as it was, so seeing it all unravelled felt almost underwhelming. But working together, the team investigate to missing person cases, cold cases that have a breath of life in both, shall we say.

It’s the start of a new life after a few incidents that necessitated their moving, and while their new home is comfortable, it comes with a certain level of discomfort. At the beginning Amanda (and the whole gory true crime industry) is not very likeable, but she does become deeper and more likeable.

It's a layer that acts like any cult would, I suppose, and it's so incredibly cleverly done that I almost missed it.

Would be a full 5 star read, but there was one part that felt a little rushed, however it's too much of a spoiler to discuss.
