The Angel of Darkness (Abridged) Audiobook

" I don't read much ficition, and it has been several years, but I seem to recall enjoying how well this story conveyed the period. Read the follow ups and don't think they were as good. "

" This is the follow up to the Alienist, one of my favorites. I love historical fiction, especially when there's a mystery. These two by Carr are historical CSI, fun to read, great characters. "

" I think it's safe to say that Caleb Carr has some issues with women. "

" Terrific tale, with historical figures (Clarence Darrow, Teddy Roosevelt, Cady Stanton, etc.) and great intrigue. The narrator is a sort of urban Huckleberry Finn mixed with Artful Dodger: entertaining and likable, as are all of the characters. "

" Almost as good as The Alienist "

" I liked the first book much better. It overall just felt lest satisfying and meh. "

" loved this historical fiction as well "

" The year is 1897, and Carr's plot is initiated by the kidnapping of a Spanish diplomat's baby--then thickens, as suspicion falls on Elspeth Hunter, a malevolent nurse who is actually Libby Hatch, a malevolent gang moll and the suspected murderess of her own children. "

" i read a lot of books of different varieties and this was the first one I've finished. i like the language, the way it is being narrated and the narrator itself. "

" One of my favorite books, The Alienist and The Angel of Darkness are a MUST read. "

" chilling, spine-tingling read. "

" Much dorkier and more overwritten than its predecessor. In otherwords, not good. "

" Interesting mix of history and psychological thriller. "

" Not as good as the first book, but still a great read with returning characters and deeper look into the development of forensic science. "

" Just as amazing as The Alienist! "

" After reading "The Alienist" I fell in love with Caleb Carr's writing, and have decided to read anything he has ever written and will write. "

" Did not enjoy this as much as The Alienist. It felt like the mystery was solved before the book was even halfway over and I found the courtroom scenes boring. Not to say they weren't well written or perhaps interesting to another person - it just wasn't what I was expecting from this sequel. "

" Set in the late 1800's, this sequel to The Alienist begins with the kidnapping of a toddler. The plot thickens as the evidence begins to point to a sociopathic nurse who uses the alias "Elspeth Hunter". "

" I like the first one better... I think the second one lost some of the detective skill/intrigue which made the first one a good read. "

" I enjoyed this sequel to the alienist. it was dark. seemed well -researched. not sure why I didn't give it more stars...still thinking... "

" He does it again....masterful. "

" Not quite as enjoyable as The Alienist, but a very good read! "

" The sequel to The Alienist. Not quite as good as the original, but it comes pretty close. "

" This book, too, I found amazing. "

" It may be a better book than I think it's going to be but after 100 pages, I am bored. Can't see that it is going to get any better. Bye, bye. BTW, I liked The Alienist. "

" I enjoyed this one a bit more that the previous book the Alienist. Having Stevie be the Narrator made it a easier and more enjoyable read. "

" A fine follow-up to the first. More of the same, and I mean that in the best possible way. "

" Carr's follow-up to THE ALIENIST was just a little bit less thrilling. He still captures people place and time better than most authors.... living or dead. "

" I actually liked this book better than the first book. This book is from the perspective of Stevie, so it's a little more accessible to a regular reader. "

" A very good read for a cold winter's night. Long but keeps your interest. Well written. "

" This books is hard to put down once you jump into it. Love the time period in New York City. Gripping, with great characters! "

" Really would like a third Dr. Laszlo book "

" This book was ok. I thoroughly enjoyed the first one and with great anticipation waited for the second to come out. Not as good as the first one, but okay. Read if you want. "

" Had trouble getting into this one. About 3/4 of the way through I started skipping pages to find out what happened. Seemed more fantastical than the first one, but not in a good way - rather like it was trying too hard. "

" It was a hard start, but once the story line got going, it didn't stop. This was a wonderful read. "

" not as good as the first one. "
