Complex mystery

Marric isn't kind to his characters but lets the plot unwrap with a complexity and randomness close to real life. I don't think I've ever read a mystery with as many threads. All of them are centered around the Thames and all of them are eventually solved though some more successfully than others. Reading Gideon's River is like reading an entire series of mysteries in one go or watching an entire season of a cop show.
