The Woman in Black: Angel of Death

This is the novelization of ‘‘Angel of Death'', the mediocre sequel to ‘‘The Woman In Black'' , a 2012 beautiful film based on the novella by Susan Hill. An attempt to cash out on the success of the first film, it verifies the rule of the sequels. The book is as good as the movie and that means average at best. There's nothing to write home about, really. Other than its striking front cover, the characters are weak, irritating, the ‘‘scares'' badly-written. It certainly can't hold a candle to the original. Worth reading only for the atmospheric setting, amidst the time of the Blitz, during the Second World War.
