About this audiobook
The chilling sequel to the international bestselling novel The Woman in Black
It’s Autumn of 1940, and German bombs are destroying the cities of Britain as WWII takes its toll on Europe. In London, children are being removed from their families and taken to the country for safety. Teacher Eve Parkins is in charge of one such group, and her destination is an empty and desolate house that appears to be sinking into the tidal marshes that surround it.
Its name is Eel Marsh House.
Far from home and with no alternative, Eve and the children move in. But it soon becomes apparent that there is someone else in the house; someone who is far deadlier than anything that would face the children in the city. She’s called “The Woman in Black,” and she won’t rest until she has her revenge …

A serviceable follow-up to Susan Hill's original novel, "Angel of Death" takes its cues from a lackluster movie script written by Jon Croker. The sequel movie was based on an idea by Susan Hill and manages to only be just ok. Martyn Waites manages to take a lackluster script and make a more interesting novelization. There are additional scenes and added context in here that are missing from the movie. In the novelization the added scenes act like deleted scenes from the movies which makes it flow better in my opinion. The writing is decent though it flags a little from time to time, mainly while adding little extras here and there, it still needs to follow the movie script. Overall, an improvement over the movie.
