Inside you will find research material for a true crime book. You must read the documents, then make a decision. Will you destroy them? Or will you take them to the police?

The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett is published by Viper Books and you can now buy a copy from your favourite local book shop! Hallett has done it again! Brilliant, clever, and will have you hooked and guessing throughout -- Charlotte Levin, author of IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU The author has garnered many fans since her debut The Appeal, and this will delight them... Featuring two true crime writers battling it out to get the best scoop, a cult, and mysteries galore, this had me obsessed * Prima * True crime-auteur Amanda Bailey krijgt de opdracht om een boek te schrijven over het mysterie rond de Alperton Angels-sekte. Achttien jaar geleden vielen er in één nacht vier doden, werd de sekteleider opgepakt en verdwenen twee tieners met een baby, maar niemand weet wat precies heeft geleid tot de fatale gebeurtenissen en van de verdwenen personen ontbreekt nog altijd ieder spoor. Amanda is slim, doortastend, brutaal en vastberaden om eindelijk antwoorden te vinden op onbeantwoorde vragen, en om dat doel te bereiken hoopt ze de baby te vinden, of in ieder geval de tieners, en zo haar verhaal vanuit een uniek perspectief op te bouwen. Het is een ambitieus plan, en wanneer ze wordt gedwongen om samen te werken met een collega-journalist, iemand die haar in het verleden pijn heeft gedaan, wordt de zoektocht naar de waarheid steeds gecompliceerder. From the latest Scandinavian serial killer to Golden Age detective stories, we love our crime novels!

We have some exciting news. The English author Janice Hallett has a new novel on the way, and if you’ve read The Appeal or The Twyford Code, you’ll know just what a big deal this is. She’s an author who has caught the imagination of crime fiction lovers everywhere, writing cleverly layered mysteries that roll together elements of half-forgotten secrets, true crime, made-up urban myths and a peculiar sense of, well, Englishness that’s definitely amusing but is hard to actually describe. I genuinely don't know how Janice Hallett does it. The detail, the plot twists, the humour, even in dark places - she creates a brilliant puzzle for the reader to solve. I loved it -- Victoria Scott, author of PATIENCE Amanda Bailey is writing the book nearly two decades later. The mysterious Alperton baby will now be 18 and can finally be interviewed. Amanda is determined to find the baby before anyone else, hoping that the exclusive scoop will revive her struggling career. Nope, no happy ending here. Not for your brain either because that's just going to explode into such a big pile of mush that you'll forget your own name.

Fantastic. Keeps the 'found footage' narrative structure that Hallett does so well and injects some real darkness into it -- Tariq Ashkanani, author of WELCOME TO COOPER A unique and completely immersive novel about manipulation, and seeking the truth at all costs. An absolute triumph in storytelling -- L.V. Matthews, author of THE TWINS The towpath of the Grand Union Canal in Alperton has been used for various scenes in the BBC TV soap EastEnders. It was first used in an episode which aired on 3 October 1985, when the character Den Watts (played by Leslie Grantham) meets Michelle Fowler (played by Susan Tully) and it is revealed Den is the father of Michelle's baby. It was used again on numerous occasions, most famously on 23 February 1989, when Den Watts was shot before falling into the canal and supposedly dying. Den returned to the canal with daughter Sharon Watts on 3 October 2003, when he returned to Albert Square alive.

Right, if you've read either The Appeal or The Twyford Code you will know what to expect with a Janice Hallett novel in that she doesn't write a novel the way others do. In Appeal we got a story patched together from notes, texts and I loved it. Twyford was patched together prose and recordings and I hated it but that was mainly because I thought the story insane. But do we care enough about this baby? Readers presumably shouldn’t find themselves wistfully thinking, as I did once or twice: “But didn’t this all happen ages ago? Is it time to let it lie?” I think the problem is Amanda. In Hallett’s previous books, the detection of the crime – and the crimes themselves – had origins in characters we learned to care about. Here, the narrative engine is a woman whose psychotic single-mindedness is admittedly interesting, but who has no personal involvement. What’s her motivation? If she’s writing purely for gain, how much will she lose if she fails? What I most enjoyed were the passages of pastiche – especially the snatches of an airport novel called White Wings. And as ever, the author’s control of the material is masterly, the eventual solution quelling any misgivings or objections the reader may have had along the way. The story of the Alperton Angels is far from over. The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels Review: My Opinion

Need Help?

Now that baby turns eighteen years old and can finally be interviewed. If it can be found, that is. Enter Amanda Bailey, a true-crime author whose flagging career desperately needs a scoop. It is her research the reader will be diving into to try and make sense of this mysterious case, and it is her path the reader follows as she hunts for the truth alongside her rival, Oliver.
