The Drowning of Arthur Braxton by Caroline Smailes

5.0

My best friend lent this book to me ans I finished it in 2 days which is VERY fast for me. I loved the twists and how the characters narratives met and wound together and started plot points and a different character would finish it. I WISH the ending was a bigger pay off than Silver saying for Tommy to run for his life as the bathhouse burned down. But at the same time, it was a very good book and "this is how it must end" as Silver would say. I need to know if Arthur and Delphina resolved their relationship. I need to know what the fuck happened to that nasty cretin Martin and what happened to madam pythia after she saved baby delphina from drowning. Did she die? Did she give delphina her life and her water magic?
I loved this book. Gonna buy my own copy.
