Angel Baby

by Richard Lange

To escape the awful life she has descended into, Luz plans carefully. She takes only the clothes on her back, a Colt .45, and all the money in her husband's safe. The corpses in the hallway weren't part of her plan. Luz needs to find the daughter she left behind years earlier, but she knows she may die trying. Her husband is El Principe, a key player in a high-powered drug cartel, a business he runs with the same violence he has used to keep Luz his perfect, obedient wife.

Reviews

[Lianne]

I won a copy of this novel from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers Programme.

Angel Baby follows a number of characters interconnected through a series of events precipitated by the main character, Luz. Despite of this colourful cast of characters and their different motivations, they lack considerable depth, especially as the pursuit tightens.

The story also lulled at times. The prose can be interesting at times but also unhelpful when the story hit a rather dull spot. Angel Baby was interesting enough but it could have been more engaging and the characters more well-developed.
