This series just
keeps getting better and better!
Short
Synopsis: An American student,
the son of a politically powerful family is found murdered near Baker Street
station. It soon becomes clear that the
death has some special characteristics suitable for the Folly’s involvement. PC Peter Grant is called in to investigate
the magical goings on, and forced to work with an FBI agent, crawling through
the London sewers on the trail of mysterious creatures.
Each book does get
better and better, as Peter Grant’s world is built upon each time. The plots are consistently engaging and it
feels not so much a genre of magical realism or urban fantasy as police
procedural. Magic is presented as just a
part of PC Grant’s job. Secondary
characters are not forgotten and are allowed to grow and develop too. I love every little titbit we find out about
Molly. I sincerely hope we learn her secrets
and background one day!
What
I liked most: Pretty much everything! Characters developing well, we learn more
about magic along with Peter and the stories are totally original and new every
time.
What
I liked least: It’s been a while since I read this, so
it’s hard to look back and recall the things I didn’t like. The only possible negative is that it took a
while to put all the pieces together before we could get to the denouement. But
then again that could be me being impatient.
