well i struggled with the first book in this series - really enjoyed the next 2 and then struggled with this one. Peter grant magical detective is once more off in search of the faceless man. There are so many twists and turns it is exhausting.
No, no, no, no, NO! NOPE. I'm noping tf outta here. Just no.
You lead me through 250+ pages of meandering or non-existent plot only to leave me with that gobsmacker in the end and I say thee nay, Ben Aaronovitch! How dare you make the only substantial female character in the whole damn series so far into a villain and/or a villain's accomplice, complicit in murder. I refuse. I am so darn mad right now, I can't even! And because of her fkn face? How dare you! I finished the book mid-transit on my way back from work and that is the only reason I did not throw my tab away in disgust and anger. I am furious! I think I am going to take a nice break from this series to cool tf down and if this doesn't turn out to be Lesley's plan to get the Faceless Man down, well, then I'm probably gonna be outta here. God, I am so angry right now!

Holy hell ... what a great instalment in the Rivers of London series. I didn't love book 2 and 3 but book 4 is all redeeming. Great humour, fun characters and a mind-blowing twist. Loved it.

The way the author writes the books to really see the different personalities of the supernatural beings (funny, terrifying, how they fit in with modern times) if very enjoyable. The story itself is interesting and keeps my attention. Things do come together in the end, but there are an awful lot of things that happen that you're not sure how (or if) they'll really be part of the bigger story. The faceless man is a great villian.
