My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (as the Filth to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May. Then one night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was dead but disturbingly voluable, and that brought me to the attention of Inspector Nightingale, the last wizard in England. Now I'm a Detective Constable and a trainee wizard, the first apprentice in fifty years, and my world has become somewhat more complicated: nests of vampires in Purley, negotiating a truce between the warring god and goddess of the Thames, and digging up graves in Covent Garden . . . and there's something festering at the heart of the city I love, a malicious vengeful spirit that takes ordinary Londoners and twists them into grotesque mannequins to act out its drama of violence and despair. The spirit of riot and rebellion has awakened in the city, and it's falling to me to bring order out of chaos - or die trying.

I read this a few months ago and loved it!!!!

Well this was something a bit different! I'm not sure how I would describe this book, a sort of fantasy/supernatural/crime-mystery hybrid, which for the most part worked. I did enjoy the humorous one-liners & sniggered away quite happily for much of the early chapters. I did find parts of it muddling though & my enthusiasm was waning in the latter part. While I liked it well enough I don't think I'll be reading any more the series.

I brought this home from York today, after meeting plum-crazy for lunch, chat and book swapping, complete with husbands, in the Brigantes pub. Great to see you, lass!

I enjoyed that! I think I might have got a bit lost in the middle - but can't be sure either way . . . .
I'm a bit late to the party and have quite a bit of catching up to do, this is the first and I understand that the eighth in the series is due for publication in 2019, but I aim to do said catching up and have already taken the second, Moon Over Soho, out of our local library.
Yes, it's fun and funny :-)

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

To my wonderful grandson, a jazz trumpeter, a fact which will become more relevant if he goes on to read Book 2 . . . . Enjoy!

Well over a million people around the world give their books a unique BookCrossing IDentity number (BCID) before sending them out to find new readers. Since the start of the scheme in April 2001 over twelve million such books have been put into circulation. This is one of them!

Our hope is that we can track the progress of our books once they've left our hands - and that's possible if finders like you visit the website, key in the BCID and leave a comment, however long or short. It's fun, it doesn't have to cost anything, although the site always appreciates donations towards running costs, and you can remain anonymous if you wish. You don't have to join but if you do you'll be able to number and track your own books!
