We study the resonant two-photon ionization of neutral atoms by a combination of twisted and plane-wave light within a fully relativistic framework. In particular, the ionization of an isotropic ensemble of neutral sodium atoms (Z=11) from their ground 32S1/2 state via the 32P3/2 level is considered. We investigate in details the influence of the kinematic parameters of incoming twisted radiation on the photoelectron angular distribution and the circular dichroism. Moreover, we study the influence of the geometry of the process on these quantities. This is done by changing the propagation directions of the incoming twisted and plane-wave light. It is found that the dependence on the kinematic parameters of the twisted photon is the strongest if the plane-wave and twisted light beams are perpendicular to each other.
