A Quiet Belief In Angels
A Quiet Belief in Angels - R.J. Ellory

I loved the title and had planned to read this book for some time before I actually got to it.

 

I liked the story it self, for me it was a nice detective. Young girls are murdered in a small community, Joseph gets obsessed to solve the case and find the murderer. It had all the elements of a good thriller. I liked reading it.

 

But what I like most about these novels is the writing. I really like his style, it doesn't feel like you're reading a thriller when you look at the writing - it feels good. And I thought it has a wonderful title!

 

I've read multiple books by RJ Ellory, but I believe this is my favourite.

 

Note: I read a Dutch translation of this book

A Quiet Belief In Angels
A Quiet Belief In Angels - R.J. Ellory A gripping read but also quite a grim one. Not just because it deals with a serial killer whose crimes are horrific but it follows a character whose life is deeply changed by these events and not in a good way.At times some of the language, no doubt well-written in a literary sense, seemed to just slow the progress of the story. There were some genuine surprises in the plot and other things I saw coming. Overall though, worth reading. Compelling.

A Quiet Belief in Angels - R.J. Ellory A good fiction writer should make him or herself invisible, in service to the story. R. J. Ellory tries so hard to be "literary" that every page screams out "STRIVING AUTHOR! STRIVING AUTHOR! STRIVING AUTHOR!" This desperate author presence makes it impossible to see or care about the story.
