Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Her passion for myth and magic leads a woman into the heart of a murderous evil
On a remote stretch of the rugged coast of Ireland, folklorist and illustrator Keira Sullivan pursues the mysterious Irish legend of an ancient Celtic stone angel. As she searches an isolated ruin, she's certain she's discovered the mythic angel, but before she can examine her find, she senses a malevolent presence...Is someone in there with her? Then the ruin collapses, trapping her.
Keira's uncle, a Boston homicide detective, enlists the help of Simon Cahill to find his missing niece. Simon, an expert with Fast Rescue, a rapid response search-and-rescue organization, is trying to keep a low profile after secretly assisting the take-down of a major criminal network, but he rushes to Ireland, pulling Keira out of the rubble just as she's about to free herself.
Simon isn't interested in myths or magic, nor is he surprised when Keira can't find a trace of her stone angel. He doesn't believe it exists. But the gruesome evidence of a startling act of violence convinces him that whatever she found in the ruin, the danger she faces is real.
When the violence follows them to Boston [and escalates], Simon and Keira realize that the long-forgotten story that has captivated her has also aroused a killer...a calculating predator who will certainly kill again.
Suspenseful and evocative, THE ANGEL is a riveting novel of dangerous myths, haunting secrets and the shattering truth concealed within them. It is Carla Neggers at her best.

Right in the beginning of THE ANGEL, Neggers starts in motion a series of threads that stretch between Ireland and the U.S. When she adds in some Irish folklore, a sexy FBI guy, and a spunky artist it results in a riveting read. This was a great book!
I am never disappointed in any of Carla Neggers' books, and can't wait for the subsequent one.

The story about an Ancient Celtic stone angel has been passed down for centuries. Keira Sullivan learns of the angel through a story told by Patsy McCarthy. Patsy has told the story to many people but only Keira decides that she will go to Ireland and seek the angel on her own. Keira is a folklorist and illustrator and Patsy's story fascinates her. Before Keira can leave Boston to travel to Ireland, she finds a body. It is that of Victor Sarakis, a man who has spent a lot of time studying the devil.
The story alternates settings between Ireland and Boston. Simon Cahill, a friend of the family and also a member of the FBI, winds up involved and follows Keira to Ireland¬-which is a good thing since she winds up in some danger. Kiera has lived a strange life. Her mother Eileen made a trip to Ireland and came home pregnant with Kiera. Now Kiera's mother lives alone in a hermit-like existence. Bob O'Reilly, Kiera's uncle, is not happy over Kiera's decision to go to Ireland and try to locate the angel. Bob has good reason to feel this way because of past events.
This is a marvelous story of family, legends, and age-old truths that finally come to light. The book is also filled with suspense and many surprises. Author Carla Neggers traveled to Ireland and visited a pub such as the one described in The Angel. The scenery described makes one wish for a trip to Ireland.
Armchair Interviews says: A nice mixture of travelogue and suspense/mystery for a very good read.

I've read pretty much everything Neggers has written, and this is probably one of her best.
It's a very solid mystery/thriller tale, with characters the reader comes to care about. There's a slight touch of magic around the edges; Ireland seems to have that effect on literature. Neggers, however, keeps her characters' feet on the ground, and keeps them running. I particularly enjoy her female characters. They are well-turned out, 3-dimensional and add a great deal to the unfolding of the plot.
Thrillers are always mind-candy. This is particularly tasty mind candy.

I love the fact that Carla links her characters in these books. This one continues the saga of Abigail and Owen as well as keeps us posted on Abigails co-workers and their families, while introducing us to Keira and Simon. Keep up the great work!
