Whispers Under Ground by Ben Aaronovitch

4.0

Well that was odd. 5 stars as a volume that builds our character stable (more Lesley = more better! Peter wanted to be an architect, sure, so much of the narration makes more sense if that's what we're going with. Abigail is on the team? Oh yes PLEASE.) But the structure and pacing of these is of a mystery - a murder happens at the beginning of the book and we solve it right before the end - and as a mystery it was odd and unsatisfying. First of all
Spoilerlate in the book, poof, secret underground society
and then on top of that, wow, that's a pretty unpredictable motive you pulled out at the last minute. So, as a mystery more like 3.
