A review by andrew_j_r
Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch
4.0
Another thoroughly entertaining, very readable entry in this constantly enjoyable series. I wish the author could write them a little quicker, it's a really annoying thought that I may have to wait another year for the next volume.
This is a rather different book for this series. It takes us, for the first time, out of London. It features very few of the regular characters (especially relevant considering the way the last book ended). I love the way the books are great in their own right, but also the linking threads that make you really want to read the next one. I for one was shocked at the twist in the last book, and don't look to this book for a resolution. Indeed that character is only teased at. Also there are a couple of threads that dangle over into the next volume, including a very specific deadline. Just to get writing Mr Aaronvitch, because I NEED the next instalment!
