The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels
Ratings64
Average rating3.9
This is the story of a cult. The leader convinces a young girl that he is the Archangel Gabriel, that she is also an angel and her baby is the Antichrist. They must protect the baby at all costs until the time is right to kill it. 🫨
All this happened in 2003, now 20 years later, a true crime author sets out to find out what really happened.
Wasn't totally bonkers about 500 pages of emails, WhatsApp messages, transcripts of meetings, phone calls, bits of books and tv scripts. But, kudos to the author for skilfully pulling all this together and keeping me guessing right up until the last 20 pages.

I don't think any of Hallett's books will live up to The Appeal for me, but this one comes in at second place.
The mystery was interesting and there was a great mix of media formats, which is Hallett's way.
I will say even thought it was interesting it did get a little bit sloggy towards the end so was perhaps a bit too long.
