Book Reviews of The Angel of Darkness
Book Review: A (mostly) readable sequel...
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, I like historical fiction when it's well done. Second, I like distinct authorial voices. Third, I *loathe* when the narrative tells you something is going to happen, describes it happening, and then talks about what just happened. This book could have been pared down by at least a hundred pages simply by dropping the super-annoying hints that things would get worse for the hardy band of investigators or describing how bad things just got for the hardy band of investigators. It's still a decent read, though. It's just not nearly as good as "The Alienist".
