I'm a fan of the author so jumped at the chance to read The Angel of Indian Lake. I enjoyed this book a lot. Confession time - this is the final book of a trilogy and I haven't read the other two. I had no idea until I started to read it. I enjoyed this a lot. The author is a great horror writer and this book is a shining example of how good, how gripping and engrossing a horror novel can be. I will need to read the other two books to get the whole story. I'm sure there are things I've not picked up on because I haven't read them. This is a rollicking, engrossing and quite scary horror yarn. I'd recommend it.
