Title: What an incredible disappointment after "The Alienist"!!
Product review: As a person who raved to her coworkers and friends relentlessly about "The Alienist" being one of the best books of the past 5 years, I was overwhelmingly disappointed by "The Angel of Darkness." The story of Libby Hatch was intriguing, but the book plodded on and on until I was begging for it to be over. I normally would not even stay with a book that slow, but knowing Carr's previous work, I assumed there HAD to be something better coming. Perhaps if "Angel" had been a tighter, less rambling 350 pages or so instead of 750, it might have been enjoyable.
