Book 4 in the Rivers of London series, from Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch.

A mutilated body in Crawley. Another killer on the loose. The prime suspect is one Robert Weil - an associate of the twisted magician known as the Faceless Man? Or just a common garden serial killer?

Before PC Peter Grant can get his head round the case, a town planner going under a tube train and a stolen grimoire are adding to his case-load. So far so London.

But then Peter gets word of something very odd happening in Elephant and Castle, on an housing estate designed by a nutter, built by charlatans and inhabited by the truly desperate. Is there a connection? And if there is, why oh why did it have to be south of the River?

It has been obvious to the attentive listener that Ben Aaronovitch loathes the modernist architects who inflicted their visions of how others should live on London. In this book as it turns out this architecture is what it is all about. Or why else should the evil adversary of the Folly a.k.a. "The Faceless Man" take an interest in an icon of brutalism and its creator?

In general the story arc of the Peter-Grant-novels continues further: we learn that there was also a German tradition of scientific magic and our hero has to quote it (BTW the German quoted is totally correct, not the Germanic-sounding miss-mash that so often hurts a German-speaker's senses). Also the magic realm and its inhabitants and practitioners grow in number and character.

And did I mention the suspense? Especially in the second half it is hard to stop and I listened to this book twice before writing this review...

Without wishing to place a spoiler, there's more than a couple of unexpected twist in this one. Definitely moving to the next installment a s a p. Enjoy.

The 4th Rivers of London book leaves us with quite a cliffhanger! The story is a bit weak, compared to the previous ones. Still one's captivated by how Kobna Holbrook-Smith brings Peter Grant and the other characters to live and the wit Ben Aaronovitch has equipped them with. Just loving it and can't wait for the next one!
