The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels
True-crime writer Amanda Bailey is commissioned to revisit the Alperton Angels, a cult whose teenage mother and baby disappeared after its other members died. A rival writer is assigned the same case, forcing two former colleagues to share evidence while competing for the story. Emails, transcripts, messages, and documents gradually challenge the accepted version of what happened. Twisty and immersive, this mystery suits a late-night read for fans of documentary formats, cult investigations, professional rivalry, and clues that change meaning when placed beside another record.
