Broken Homes by Ben Aaronovitch
4.0
"sociological fantasy is my genre"
I had SO MUCH FUN with the architectural and social history talked about in this book. It felt like Peter was having a great time with everything he was talking about, and unlike my usual pleasant side-eye at how much he remembers from elementary school projects, digging into the architectural history of London community housing seemed like an actual area of expertise.
I also liked the mystery, and I liked hanging out with Beverly for an entire book again.
Kobna Holdbrook-Smith continues to be a truly stellar, a-list narrator.
I think Broken Homes is a little bit-- less self-contained than some of the other books, and it feels like it's leading up to some greater climax further down the road, but it still might be my favorite so far of the series.
