The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett

5.0

'BREAKING NEWS Police have cordoned off a derelict warehouse in Alperton, north- west London, amid unconfirmed reports multiple bodies have been discovered inside.'

An absorbing dark mystery following a journalist as she hunts for the baby (about to turn 18) once thought by a cult to be the antichrist. We follow a trail of breadcrumbs via WhatsApp messages, emails, interview transcripts, and more. It's epistolary (but a little extra), which makes it feel so real. It really drew me in, chilled me (literally gave me goosebumps), and  had me reading late into the night!

'There’s something about this case. It burrows insidiously into your mind, then sets about changing it.'
