Typical Aaronovitch in that his work is mostly wordbuilding that circles the plot from a distance for about 80%, then about three chapters of rapid exposition right at the end.

What a twist ending though. Elevates the novel completely.

Amazing as per usual with this series. Every book it gets better and better. The twist at the end of this one was painful though.
