text from back of book:
"Meet DC Peter Grant. He will show you his city. But it's not the capital that you all see as you make your way from tube to bus, from Elephant to Castle. It's a city that under its dark surface is packed full of crime. And of magic. A city that you never suspected... Grant's story starts when he tries to take a witness statement from a man who was already dead. And takes him down a twisting, turning centuries' old mystery that reckons to set modern London on fire..."

Nice easy and entertaining read, but not quite my taste. A mix of London history, crime story and Harry Potter, which I all adore, but although the book had its good moments and ideas, the overall experience wasn't what I had expected. It started promising, and then got average. But don't listen to me really, judge yourself :-) I enjoyed the detailed descriptions of London, and the general idea of mixing magic and crime solving. Also, the cover picture is just beautiful, imo :-)

The book has travelled a bit already before I got to register it, I do think it got a bit wet at one point. But it's still in good nick.

Sent as rabck to ccardoso33, England, hope it arrives safely :)
