Mind blown at how good it is. Not sure how to process the ending, but I have never been as stressed reading a book as this. Ties with Troubled Blood (TB) for my favorite Strike book (TB may be a smidge better).
Overall: 8.5-9/10
- World Building: 2/2 (incredibly believable; steadily ups the stakes)
- Characters: 2-2.5/3 (some characters questionable; most very believable)
- Writing: 2.5/3 (incredibly lucid but had to really focus on details in some parts)
- Fun: 2/2 (stressful & good)
