inulro15. Whispers Under Ground by Ben Aaronovitch
The third installment in the Peter Grant series of supernatural detective series. The more perceptive of you will notice I've not yet read the second; but this one was sitting on the shelf at the library, and frankly if I've become too stupid to deal with the ambiguities presented by reading fluff like this out of order, the label Too Stupid To Live applies.
I enjoyed the first book, Rivers of London, but had some reservations. This one I just loved. Mainly because it's about the construction of Tube tunnels and addresses that don't exist. And magic art. It also made me realise how little of London I've actually been to (just about every location in this volume).
The one thing I could live without is the story arc of the Faceless Man that's going through the whole series. I think that it detracts from rather than adds to the work. But that could be just me.
Loved it. Would be ordering the remaining volume from the library right now if my "currently reading" pile wasn't almost level with the bed.
