I love a good thriller, but I’m so often disappointed by them. It’s a fine line to walk in which a twist feels earned but you don’t see it coming from miles away. The Angel Maker kept me guessing the entire time I was reading it, and while I predicted a couple of reveals, it still managed to surprise me. However, if you are a person who likes to know things for sure, this may not be the book for you. The plot is complex and there are a LOT of moving pieces that mostly come together, but at the end, so many things are still unexplained. This made the ending only about 75% satisfying. BUT, it was a good book to get lost in on the beach in Mexico, and I enjoyed it for what it was. It’s worth picking up, but not a new favorite.
