Whispers Under Ground by Ben Aaronovitch
4.0
PC Grant, ever on the lookout for weird magical lawbreaking is called away from his main responsibility of investigating the little Crocodiles dining club to come and investigate a weird railway stabbing. James Gallagher, an American who wasn't where he should be, is found dead near the subway tracks having been stabbed with a clay shard and when Peter goes to investigate it, it has vestigia. Once again Peter, Leslie and Nightengale are called upon to investigate the unseen things in London as Peter continues in his journey as an apprentice wizard.
I liked this one more than the second one, but the first one is still my favorite. I also want the books to start answering more questions about magic and how it works and what the limitations are. I don't need a full run down, but Peter's insistence in only knowing basic forms and then not trying very hard to learn much else can be a little frustrating at times. I am excited to see where the story goes and to maybe someday find out what exactly happened at Ettersberg.
