adventurous dark emotional hopeful mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

This meandering story of people along the Thames was interesting but slow.  I liked the book, but not as much as the author's, "The Thirteenth Tale."
