The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels

Great mysterious, psychological crime thriller seemingly about a true crime writer investigating the 18-year-old crimes of a cult but with so many extra layers, you ultimately realize it's about so much more. This book has a unique approach.  You are “given” a key which accesses a safe deposit box.  In the box is a file containing all the material collected by a true crime author over the course of her investigation of a cult whose purpose was to kill a baby (the anti-Christ) on a certain date when the planets align in a specific way.  Several people died, but the baby survived and its identity has been hidden for 18 years.  The author is tasked with finding the baby and writing a true crime book about it.  She's also forced to work with another crime author who is conducting a similar investigation into the cult.  I highly recommend this book, particularly the audio book version. The multiple voices and acting in the audio book are top notch. I especially loved the chemistry between the main character and her assistant. This is a complex story with numerous layers and twists and excellent characterization and psychological motivations.
