How do I rave about a book in this series without saying the same things I said a few days ago about the last one? How about I just highlight my favourite bits:
-Truly delicious show of power from Nightingale shutting up a mouthy lawyer/misbehaving practicioner, got all ominous in a classy way.
- Foxglove! 🥹 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/3 -Gloriously insane action sequence involving the repeated attempts at impediment, and dismemberment of a van, then wrestling inside a moving vehicle whilst dealing with a 'stings on contact' Quality Street tin of piece of vampire (yes you read that correctly).
-Talking fox and cheese puffs!
-The bumblebee warelight!
4h
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 Found myself laughing even more than I can recall from other installments in this series and was very satisfied with the mix of a particular story arc completed and other story threads left dangling tantalizingly. On to the next! 4h

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. 🥰 5d
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. 5d
Robotswithpersonality @julesG Exactly! Especially when Peter's lamenting to himself his latest fantastical or procedural inconvenience! 😂 5d

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. ☺️
