I always include major spoilers (hidden), to help with my memory issues. Read them at your peril!
2nd in a series, but the first that I have listened to. Excellent narration. Set in Manchester, with a British dark sense of humour, and gritty reality about it, which you don’t often find in fantasy stories from other countries. Stranger Times is a magazine which publishes weird stories, I think conspiracy theories and supernatural reports. As a result of whatever happened in the first book someone is out tokidnap the powerful young woman who is hiding out in the magazines offices . They are doing this by getting a plumbing company to install a new bathroom with a hidden trapdoor in the shower . Also several young men are turning into vampires overnight, with no apparent cause. People are being killed, the public is getting restive, detective Sturgeon has both his boss and a shady and powerful “Concerned Citizen” on his back. He and the Stranger Times staff need to work out what’s going on and fix it.
Excellent thriller, funny, clever. Really enjoyed it.
