Not bad so far. This time a unicorn horn is found and the detective has to go undercover as a street racer. Not much fey has I had hoped to see in the story (really it's on the title? ugh). As usual, great graphics and good story. On to the next!

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 This is a great series so far. It‘s a little darker than I had expected but still leavened with humor. Recommended.

Marvelous. Peter continues to have a hazardous but fascinating time encountering the fantastical and magical in London whilst solving murder mysteries, attempting to apply science and police procedure to the absurd, and introducing the reader to snippets of London's history and architecture. The overarching plot that has continued through the series has some appreciable momentum in this entry as well. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 A good balance of wry asides and moments with Nightingale and other recurring characters. I love this world, I love how Aaronovitch writes, I'm happy to continue in this series. Also happy to find that the library not having the audiobook for this book was a blip, and having put a hold on the next in the series, I can look forward to being regaled with the future adventures of Peter Grant in the mellifluous tones of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith once again. 🥰 7mo
julesG Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's narration is chef's kiss. Even when I actually read one of the novels I have his voice in my head. 7mo
Robotswithpersonality @julesG Exactly! Especially when Peter's lamenting to himself his latest fantastical or procedural inconvenience! 😂 7mo

Thaaaat's right, Peter, you want the pretty car because it's magic-resistant, not because it's pretty.
I sense ulterior motives...😏

Not a verbatim quote, but I want to believe it's a Big Trouble in Little China reference. ☺️

Peter, honey, I've read the previous five books in this series, it is TOTALLY fair! 🤦🏼‍♂️

julesG But... But... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 7mo
Robotswithpersonality @julesG Just read a scene with accidental house demolition. SERIOUSLY Peter! Terrible luck property. 😏 7mo
julesG If it's not by accident then: "They started it!" ??? 7mo
Robotswithpersonality @julesG YES! 🤷🏼‍♂️ 7mo

When the levels of shallow pretence and wasteful spending are high, you need another word for objet d'art. 😏
