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.
***If you read The Widow, this book lets you know what is happening with Abigail Browning after he solved her husband's murder.***
