My third attempt at a Turton novel and I think I'm going to have to accept his books just aren't for me.

While I enjoyed the premise more than 7.5 Deaths and Dark Water, I still struggled with the "mystery story but you can't know the rules" aspect. I think I spent far too much energy trying to solve bits of the plot when actually just going along for the ride and enjoying the reveals would have been a better approach.

That said, there's some beautiful prose, and the audiobook narrator did a spectacular job.
