Another devious, cunning, intricate, epic tale of lies and unreliable narrators and misdirection and multiple plot twists that keeps the audio book nailed to the ears from Hallett, who has become an unmissable writer. 

A true crime writer decides to explore the case of the Alperton angels, a strange cult that committed mass suicide, leavng htee dead - or was it four - and two young survivors and a baby. Now the baby is due to come of age, the race is on to uncover their identity and obtain an interview. But the story she unvcovers is rife with gaps and impossibilities and contradictions and multiple versions of the same scenes. The case also inspired a novel and a screenplay, both of which seem to illuminate aspects most factual accounts leave out. What the hell is going on? Obliged to partner with a rival with whom she has a bad past associations, Amanda is also playing her own game with truth and deception. 

Utterly gripping, often funny, this audio book cnvets the epistolary nature of the book with ease and panache, and if the occasional verbal description of emojis seems irritating, well they're equally irritating in print, and they are a ubiquitous feature of modern communications which are either infantile or funny, and often both.
