'Angel' is the story of four high-powered friends. It's an exciting book, which has some surprises and a shocking climax, before a tidy, and happy ending. I like happy endings, so it's just as well that it did end that way.
Unfortunately there was rather a lot of padding in this book, with far too much detail about the past lives of all the characters, which was very boring and entirely unnecessary. I don't know if this was the sequel to another book or if it's supposed to stand alone - either way, the flashbacks and lengthy detail didn't work.
On the other hand, I thought the characters were fairly well drawn and sympathetic, and that despite their being rich and famous, which would normally make them hard to relate to.
I don't know that I'd read this again, but I quite enjoyed it on the whole. I am still not sure whether or not I'll read any more by this author!
Not regularly in print, other than for the Kindle. But 'Angel' seems to be widely available second-hand, usually inexpensively.
