Come Monday I get to do some proper policing. Person unknown has been stabbed to death on the tracks at Baker Street tube. Magic may have been involved?

Person unknown turns out to be the son of a US senator and before you can say 'International Incident', FBI agent Kimberley Reynolds is on DC Grant's case.

And down in the dark, in the tunnels of London's Underground, the buried rivers, the Victorian sewers, there are whispers of vengeance from beyond the grave.

DC Grant's latest case is about to come off the rails ....

Love this series. Hope there's more to come.

Rabck to another bookcrosser who has this on his wishlist.

Thank you so much for RABCK Tanamo. The book was safely received in the post today.

The third in the series and just as good as the first two. I strongly recommend though that 'Rivers of London' is read first to fully appreciate both the plot and the wit.

Won by linguistkris in my 'Wild release RABCK draw' so now on the way to Germany.

Whoohoo!!! Thank you so much, ardachy, for your generosity and making this a double feature! :)
I read Rivers of London but not Moon over Soho, but I hope I'll be okay. Judging from the map on the cover, I certainly wish I was more familiar with London -- but maybe I can change that a little next week. :)

Well, that was fun! I'm glad I left this till after my London vacation, as this story really gains a lot from its strong sense of place. I'd actually really like to reread Rivers of London now that I've (unwittingly) stumpled into the churchyard of St. Paul's and stayed just around the corner from Beverly Brook...
Anyway, Whispers Under Ground works great as a whodunnit, but the series' strongest side must really be the way it brings a place's history and mythology into the present; the way it effortlessly shows the importance of roots.
I'm a bit ambivalent about the magic, as I find I'm getting to the point where I find it difficult to keep the in-world rules and creatures of the different fantasy universes I like to visit apart, and sometimes get quite lost and confused when True Blood vampires do stuff Buffy vampires could not, or Rivers of London spells adhere to entirely different laws than Dresden Files spells. Grah, it seems I really read to many of these things!

The only one thing that actually annoyed me with this book was the sloppy proof reading: When you have your characters comment on the proper pronunciation of classical Latin ('hard' Cs and all that), how can you then seriously have trouble separating your singular vestigium from your plural vestigia? And using millennia as a singular? Puh-leeze!
(You see, if this was the only thing that was wrong with the book, the rest must have been quite up to par! :))

A belated birthday surprise on the way to Zagreb! :)

Woohoo! What a fabulous birthday surprise! Thank you, linguistkris! :D

I am really looking forward to this one. Makes me giddy, just thinking about London. *grin* AND, I had NO idea this was a series, so now I've got more books to dig up, if I like this one. And I'm pretty sure I will! :)
