More of a 2.5 stars

Several strange deaths all happening in a short span of time, a stolen book of magic, a building built over an old forgotten river in London that somehow is channeling magical energy... just another day in the life of PC Peter Grant... or is it?

++++

I finished this audiobook about 4 hours ago and honestly cannot say what the main point of the story was. I can tell you bits and pieces, but the overall issue/premise/plot... nope.

The writing was still good and the narration was amazing, I just am finding this installment a bit forgettable. Hopefully the next is better as I do intend to continue with the series.

Another entertaining and enjoyable book in the Peter Grant series of urban fantasy stories. This one has Peter and the team on the trail of their arch nemesis the Faceless Man again. Just as it seems that they might win this time, there is a moment of "curse you and your surprising but inevitable betrayal" which sends the end of the story spiralling off in a different direction altogether. There will be some quite serious repercussions in the next book I suspect, and it may well have to be a darker story as a result. This is in no way a bad thing, because while these books have been fun to read, they are pretty lightweight and forgettable.
