Broken Homes by Ben Aaronovitch
3.0
I now have a YouTube channel that I run with my brother, called 'The Brothers Gwynne'. Check it out - The Brothers Gwynne
Broken Homes follows the same template as the previous three stories in this series. So, it is interesting, funny and engaging, with a new crime story and thread with the same characters.
Broken Homes had another cleverly constructed case that allowed growth and development of character. But, whilst I think that momentum dropped a bit in the middle, so it was a bit flat for a while, that ending! What a twist. Best ending to the series so far in my opinion.
As this is the fourth instalment in the series. there is not much I can say without spoilers, so I will keep this short. The central characters are being explored more and more, with Peter Grant still acting as a very good perspective to view the world from. But the plot was weaker in my opinion, which meant that character development, the introducing of new figures, and the tension was just lacking, until the last phase of the story.
Despite some of these aspects that diminished my enjoyment at times, it was a really great ending, and still an enjoyable read. So, I will be continuing with this series, but I do not know when.
3.25/5 STARS
