Summary

Everyone knows about the Alperton Angels: the cult who brainwashed a teenage girl into believing that her baby was the anti-Christ. When the girl came to her senses and called the police, the Angels committed suicide and mother and baby disappeared into the care system.

Now, author Amanda Bailey is writing a book on the case. The Alperton baby has turned eighteen; finding them will be the true-crime scoop of the year. But rival author Oliver Menzies is just as smart, better connected, and also on the baby's trail.

As Amanda and Oliver are forced to collaborate, they realise that the truth about the Angels is much darker and stranger than they'd ever imagined. This story is far from over...

Almost skipped this great read.

I loved “The Appeal” which I read in paperback. I was not as sure about The Tyford Code as an audio book, so almost skipped this one. So glad I didn’t the narrators are brilliant! I think it really adds to the story. I’m now looking forward to “The Christmas Appeal” revisiting some old characters.

The writing style is not to everyone’s taste, so maybe try a sample first.

Doesn't work for audio

Difficult to follow as everything is email, text, report correspondence. Probably better to read as text.

format annoying

just started to drive me nuts. The format written as if I am reading texts or emails is maddening and distracting from the story line. Not for me, so I gave up by mid chapter 2.

Fantastic

You know when you read a Janice Halley novel that you aren’t going to get a straight narrative. Every narrator is untrustworthy and every element of the story may or may not be a red herring. I just went with the flow and enjoyed the complicated, murky and often witty journey.
