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.

Wonderful listen, fantastic contemporary fiction

Another smasher from Hallett. This is not a typical single narrator audiobook and doesn't pretend to be at any point, so don't expect that. This novel is BETTER! It is altogether more complex, intriguing and contemporary than a "regular" audiobook. This book seems to have been produced even more sharply than previous novels, and is a true masterpiece in audio literature. The story is gripping and so cleverly constructed. Can't wait for more!

Works well as an audio book

I have read Janice Hallett's other works. Some of her formats can be challenging, but this lent itself smoothly to an audio performance. Very enjoyable altogether.

Doesn't work for audio

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