Full Dark House by Christopher Fowler

mostly made me want to go reread rivers of london.
listened to the audiobook version, and while I enjoyed the performance, i spent about half the time being confused over which one (bryant or may) was being talked about at the moment.
the framing device of the "final case" vs their "first case" was fun, but didn't really help with the feeling like i was being told about their character development rather than reading it happen.
the blitz stuff was very evocative, and the theatre mystery was fun. i found the "oooh is magic real or not oooooooooHHHOoooo" boring, but as a Classics Nerd myself, i found the GREEK MYTHS fun. Enjoyed the theatre bits more than I enjoyed the detecting.
