Title: Who kidnapped Caleb Carr?
Product review: The Angel of Darkness reads almost like a parody of The Alienist. The first book made you feel like you were breathing in the stink of the Bowery, the sweat of The Tenderloin district. Roosevelt himself was quite believable, as was the whole description of New York, its people and places. With T.A.O.D., I felt like I had returned to the modern era, and was reading a goofy send-off of the first book. The capper is that last scene, with Roosevelt and the Navy Police storming through New York beating up the gangsters. Go Teddy! Rah Kreizler! Please, save the forced-upon climax for the movie-goers, but don't insult us readers with such treacle.Bah! The reason I haven't rated this a one is because it works as a fourth leg for my beat-up sofa rather well.
