Stuart Turton has a unique talent for packing a book full of mysteries and clhes, and somehow not losing track of any of them or letting them develop into plot holes. This story doesn't let up for a moment and truly grabs you at every turn. The only thing that let me down a little was the ending - although it was by no means bad, it was little abrupt. However, this wasn't enough to ruin my enjoyment of the mystery, and just like with his previous work, I was thoroughly impressed by the craft of the storytelling.
