Book Description

Publication Date: May 2001
Deep in the heart of a  heartless city... She could have been any  homeless, nameless young woman trying to escape Seattle's  mean streets. Except the sixteen-year-old who  stumbled into the shelter that night was missing a lot  of blood, and something even more vital...  Somewhere between life and death... For police woman  Daphne Matthews, it was bizarre enough to call on the  best cop she knew... especially when a search  turned up more than she knew... especially when a  search turned up more mutilated corpses. For  ex-homicide detective Lou Boldt, it was the kind of case he  couldn't resist. And for Elden Tegg, healer, only  path to salvation... and immorality... Lurks the  angel maker. And now, as the body count rises, tow  cops try one last, desperate ploy. But they'd  better start praying. Because it will take a miracle  to stop a killer who's about to make one final,  unforgettable contribution to humankind...

3.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Lou Boldt story 5 Feb 2010
By Bookworm79
Format:Paperback
This is the second in Ridley Pearson's Lou Boldt series. I didn't like it as much as the first (Undercurrents), mainly because I thought that the villain was a bit over the top, although the other characters were as well drawn as before. I'm hoping that it was just a blip and that the next book concentrates more on the detecting team than putting us in the mind of the killer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book - dynamite plot! 17 Jan 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
One of the best thrillers I have read in a while. Tons of suspense, it constantly leaves you hanging, forcing you to read just a little more, and then a bit more still. Even though you know how it will turn out in the end, the interesting and original story will keep you plugged in all the way. Another excellent book that has a somewhat similar plot is Extreme Measures by Michael Palmer.

3.0 out of 5 stars A grim, ugly story 8 May 2000
By Doug Vaughn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I generally enjoy Ridley Pearson's books but I have to say that I found The Angel Maker more than a little unpleasant. There is, in truth, a grim fascination with the story, but "grim" is the opperative word. I was never able to escape, while reading this, the oppressive feeling that Pearson was playing an ugly joke on the reader. To use murdering street kids for their organs as a premise for a plot, to make clear who the villain is, and to make the tension of the story revolve around saving one particular potential victim in time, results in an unsatisfactory blend of classic melodrama and contemporary urban myth. I read it, but I didn't like it. Part of the problem, for me, is that I think using kids as victims in crime drama is a cheap appeal for emotion. While kids frequently are the victim of vicious crimes, they are more likely to be victimized by their own family than anonymous psychos and evil doctors.

While there is a story here that many will find sufficiently interesting, I cannot recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars HEY! Wait a sec! I'm NOT and ORGAN DONOR! 28 Aug 2001
By Gypsychick - Published on Amazon.com
This is the second in the series for crime solvers Lou Boldt and Daphne Matthews, the psychologist with a past and the scars to prove it, and retired-cop-turned-Mr.-Mom, Lou Boldt. A series of corpses begin to turn up sans some of their inner organs, Daphne begins to put two and two (or two and whatever is left) together. She manages to pull together enough clues to entice her old partner back into the hunt. The story itself if an interesting and novel idea. John Glover's frantic and frenetic read of the story and his unique audio interpretation of each character is riveting if a bit nerve racking as he never lets up and keeps the listener in a constant state of near hysteria. But even such a horror fan as this reviewer has grown to be over the years, this mystery was just a bit too gruesome for me and Pearson's characterization of a live harvesting vicitim was more than I could take. What happened to those plain old garden variety serial killers and psychos of mysteries gone by?

Leave it on the shelf unless you have a strong stomach.
