I think the premise had a lot of potential, and I did enjoy some aspects of the storyline, but it was not executed well.
I would absolutely love a book (not by this author) from the perspective of Mother Thames, or one her tributaries, though!

Do I feel incredibly called out? Yes. Was this librarian right? Completely spot on. Loved the mixture of fantastic elements like magic, ghosts, etc with a crime investigation. (Shoutout to Elatsoe for introducing me to that in the first place). If you don't mind some pretty gruesome descriptions of violent crimes, check this out.
