4,5⭐️
Ein Schiff, zur Zeit der Ostindienkompanie
Ein Mythos: der alte Tom
Eine Verwünschung- ein Toter an Land- Ermittlungen an Bord- noch mehr Tote und Mord
Viele Protagonisten: klare und eindeutige Charaktere, Charaktere mit vielen Grautönen, überspitzte Charaktere
Die Dynamiken zur Schaffung eines Mythos- Aberglaube- Religion
Moral! Gibt es Recht im Unrecht? Rache! Selbstlosigkeit!
Und ein Plan, der seines Gleichen sucht.

Mir hat das Buch unglaublich viel Freude und Hörvergnügen bereitet.
Das zu offensichtliche Erklärbär-Szenario am Ende hätte gerne dezenter ausfallen dürfen.
Die ganzen Fragen der Moral waren gut eingearbeitet, allerdings sollte hier keine tiefere Philosophie und Analyse erwartet werden. Dafür ist das Buch zu sehr ein spannender Unterhaltungsroman.

Despite being quite a long book I never good bored and could not put it down. This mystery shrouded in myth brought me back to the best Sherlock Holmes vibes - totally recommend

I liked this one way better than his first (I cannot for the life of me wrap my head around time travel and with all the different timelines it was very similar to that).

This one was so good. So spooky. So baffling. And also I LIVE for the part where the detective/perpetrator explains how everything happens. LOVED IT
