The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton
4.0

I am a big Stuart Turton Fan..., ok, he's only written the two books, but his first, [b:The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle|36337550|The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle|Stuart Turton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1506896221l/36337550._SY75_.jpg|57528323] is my all time favourite mystery book... so that this, his second is a solid 4 stars keeps me a fan..

the plot was engaging, and his writing excellent. Perhaps it's just that after his first book was so VERY innovative, I had very high expectations for this book, which is in itself, a solid mystery.

I must say that I was not entirely taken with the ending (the mystery itself is fine), but the promise of a sequel of this book does not draw me in...

I think this author is innovative, and I look forward to the next direction his writing takes him... in another direction...
