The Devil and the Dark Water

Really great writing. Super engaging all the way through...haha, most of the mystery is trying to figure out what the problem is going to be.

Also the characters are very alive and exist separately nicely.

Spoiler time:

I actually found that the least good part of the book was the ending. It seemed like they wanted to explain everything, and keep all of the characters happy with each other...which doesn't seem to line up with how they built them. It's very much like Batman is the main character, well and good. But then the ending comes with both 2-face and Rahz-Al-Guhl (however to spell it) and him reconciling and it doesn't really line up for me

Also, with all of the explanation at the end on how it all panned out...would sit better with me if they didn't go all in on Old Tom I feel like the explanations and reconciling would go much better if there was actually some mystique to this and there were some bad people going with it
