The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels is another mixed media mystery novel from Janice Hallett. If you have read The Appeal or The Twyford Code, this book is in that style but I found it distinct in style and much easier to get immersed in than TTC. 

Told in texts, transcriptions of conversations, and novel chapters, this is the story of Amanda Bailey, a true crime author, who is investigating a cluster of cult deaths twenty years ago that also involves a missing baby. Amanda is at odds and trying to work together with another author, Oliver Menzies who is working on his own novel about the Alperton Angels. 

I won't give much or anything away about this one, but I will praise how easy it was to keep reading and how steadily Hallett revealed interesting information or twists from what I was expecting as the reader. As was a frequently criticism of The Appeal, this is a long one. Other than that, I was very pleased and highly recommend it if you like her style or want to give a full mixed media novel a try.
