The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels: A Novel

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of death, death by suicide, emotional abuse, and substance use.

Oliver and Amanda wonder how Gray Graham discovered the Alperton Angels’ bodies before the police. 

Cathy from the Cold & Unsolved Murder Club emails Amanda, pointing out further discrepancies in reports of the Alperton Angels’ mass deaths by suicide. The dead angels were identified as Michael, Gabriel, and Elemiah, yet Gabriel escaped. Christopher Shenk, a petty criminal, was then named Raphael, the third body.

In an excerpt from My Angel Diary, Tilly describes meeting another angel, Ashleigh. An excerpt from the screenplay Divine describes Gabriel and Jonah’s anger when they discover that Holly attended church alone. A few days later, a young woman knocks on the apartment door but eventually leaves when they do not answer. Jonah believes that she is one of the “dark forces” looking for the baby.

Amanda appeals for information on the case in a podcast. An anonymous witness describes seeing Christopher at the police station when the Alperton Angels died. Another says that the newspaper reports about Harpinder Singh were inaccurate. Articles suggested that Harpinder was a destitute waiter who had just arrived from India, but he came from a wealthy family and was raised in England.
