After the rather mediocre Angel In The House, Ripley and Fitzroy are right back on form in this excellent yarn.
Imitation, they say, is the sincerest form of flattery, and I recognised early on that Ripley was borrowing some of the plot and some incidents from Raymond Chandler novels, a couple of which I have read. However, Ripley does put his own take on it, and the result is absorbing, and of course, very funny.
Angel is still undertaking his worst nightmare - working for a living - and his w-, I mean, partner, is still pregnant (after 2 years this must be a record). However, Amy is mellowing as she is blooming (although this could change when the baby is born, adding to Angel's anxiety). So at least he doesn't have to worry about house and home - he has plenty of other stuff occupying his mind.
JWD, Mike Ripley.

Angel's Share by Mike Ripley
7 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
I am a long time fan of Mike Ripley's Angel series and this one is a very enjoyable addition. The first 4 or so are great, then there is a run of 3 or 4 not so hot, but the last 3 have been back in stride. I must say I prefer the setting in his original apartment, with his eccentric neighbors and psychotic, but charming, cat - to his new wife and work partners, but he does seem to be pulling them together in a more fun cohesion with each book. This is the latest, and I would recommend it. I would also go back and find "Just Another Angel" the first in the series, for a fun and slightly manic read.
