The jumping in time was messy and annoying, every time the story got slightly interesting we jump back which was again annoying and unnecessary.

And our narrator interrupting the story with his commentary was distracting and — once again — annoying (and it didn’t help that I disliked him from the beginning😬).

BUT I think my first introduction to the author was strong, I read The Silent Patient last year and ate it up and gave it 5 ★. So maybe it’s my fault for having high hopes for this one?
