Ooops. the series has reached the point where the protagonist is so on top of his shit he's being smug about it, so he gets to show off how canny and clever and capable and competent he is, using a couple of US magicians who snuck in to London to nab a mechanical artifact that could be very bad news indeed. Ok, it's not VERY smug, but the tendency is there and needs to be held in check. Finding the right balance between so gormless enough he's a complete idiot and super-competent enough to run rings around everyone else such that they look like complete idiots is tricky, unless you're going the tormented brilliance route like a Lymond character, and that's not Peter. This does not distract unduly from Peter going to work as security at a cringingly with-it tech firm with something weird in its attic. The usual solid policing with added magic and the usual solid London setting made numinous with magic round the edges and in the shadows. Aaronovitch needs to watch it, though. Peter is becoming The Establishment, and while his prosaic law-enforcement point of view is undercut with self-aware references to abuses of power, they're always kept offstage, risking this series becoming cheeky friendly face of magic copaganda.
