The 3rd installment of this series, and I enjoyed it even more than the first 2.

Sometimes the side characters are hard to keep tabs on, but that's my only gripe. They are undeniably fun and well written books.

I'm not how much I can say about this book that I haven't already said about the two previous books Rivers of London and Moon Over Soho. It is consistent both earlier books, following the same general plot arc. The original dark wizard is identified, developing the Faceless Man, Grant's Voldemort/Moriarty figure, plot. Also Lesley May is back. Yay!!

I picked this up because my brain required some easy escapism. It certainly ticked that box. It was as enjoyable and easy read as its predecessors, and has me itching to get my hands on the next.
