Wolf in the Fold by Simon R. Green

4.0

While the formula for this series is well in place, Mr Green uses that as a means to flesh out his world. In this fourth volume of fantasy procedurals, a lot of plot points, historical notes and characters begin to form a story that involves the wider world outside of Hawk and Fisher’s beat. The story itself is fairly predictable - it even mentions a similar story from earlier on in the series just so the reader knows that Green knows - but the details and background make it a little more interesting. The stakes are a little higher, too: Haven is becoming a bit of a diplomatic player in the wider world, so there’s more than reputations and money at stake here. There’s also some major clues dropped that Hawk and Fisher aren’t all that they appear...
In summary, an above average entry in the series. And almost worth the admission price for the wonderful opening chapter set in a spiritualist’s rooms.
