The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton
4.0

I enjoyed this. Its so different to Evelyn Hardcastle. It's got more than a thread of Watson and Sherlock in it but it wasn't a problem. I got properly invested in some of the characters which is always a tricky ask for me as I'm a bit dead inside (so I'm told) and often don't really care!

I got some of the plot pretty quickly but the details of the twist were a good surprise, I'm rarely surprised, and I when I am it's not usually a surprise worth the effort.

Its not got 5 because I didn't enjoy it as much as Hardcastle and it wasn't as inventive.
