The first person voice was disjointed and didn't fit the atmosphere/ tension of the story to me and as a result most of the ramping tension and disquiet was missing for me. I feel like we needed more space from the characters to really lose ourselves in the potential this had. I think a third-person narrative might have been a 4.5 ⭐️ for me, but as it is, this is the weakest Kingfisher book I've read so far.
