Inhaltsangabe
I was my dad's vinyl-wallah: I changed his records while he lounged around drinking tea, and that's how I know my Argo from my Tempo. And it's why, when Dr Walid called me to the morgue to listen to a corpse, I recognised the tune it was playing. Something violently supernatural had happened to the victim, strong enough to leave its imprint like a wax cylinder recording. Cyrus Wilkinson, part-time jazz saxophonist and full-time accountant, had apparently dropped dead of a heart attack just after finishing a gig in a Soho jazz club. He wasn't the first.
No one was going to let me exhume corpses to see if they were playing my tune, so it was back to old-fashioned legwork, starting in Soho, the heart of the scene. I didn't trust the lovely Simone, Cyrus' ex-lover, professional jazz kitten and as inviting as a Rubens portrait, but I needed her help: there were monsters stalking Soho, creatures feeding off that special gift that separates the great musician from someone who can raise a decent tune. What they take is beauty. What they leave behind is sickness, failure and broken lives.
And as I hunted them, my investigation got tangled up in another story: a brilliant trumpet player, Richard 'Lord' Grant - my father - who managed to destroy his own career, twice. That's the thing about policing: most of the time you're doing it to maintain public order. Occasionally you're doing it for justice. And maybe once in a career, you're doing it for revenge.

My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (as the Filth to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May.

After inheriting a highly specialised and highly peculiar medical practice, Dr Helsing spends her days treating London's undead for a host of ills: vocal strain in banshees, arthritis in barrow-wights and entropy in mummies.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

Nora Kelly, a young curator at the Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology, is approached by historian Clive Benton with a once-in-a-lifetime proposal: to lead a team in search of the so-called "Lost Camp" of the tragic Donner Party. Benton tells Kelly he has stumbled upon an amazing find: the long-sought diary of one of the victims, which has an enigmatic description of the Lost Camp. Nora agrees to lead an expedition to locate and excavate it-to reveal its long-buried secrets. Once in the mountains, they learn that discovering the camp is only the first step in a mounting journey of fear.

Skurril und grandios gelesen!
Fazit:
Teil 2 der Serie um Peter Grant, Constable und Zauberlehrling, macht genau so weiter, wie Teil 1 aufgehört hat: Mit denkwürdigen Figuren, bizarren Kriminalfällen, Sprachwitz und furios-düsterer Magie. Ben Aaronovitch verbeugt sich vor einem urbanen, dennoch von der Vergangenheit durchtränkten London und benutzt die Stadt als Parcours für moderne Geisterjäger.
In MOON OVER SOHO lernen wir die Figuren aus Teil 1 besser kennen, was der Serie gut tut. Und auch wenn es stellenweise wieder zu verwirrend wird, zu viele Personen vorkommen und nicht alles immer ganz nachvollziehbar wirkt, tut das dem Spaß an der Sache keinen Abbruch. Dafür sorgen auch die vielen Harry Potter- und Herr der Ringe-Anspielungen, die sich durch die Geschichte ziehen.
In Sachen Spannung und Plot mit leichten Verbesserungen, ist die Hauptsache an MOON OVER SOHO neben den Charakteren immer noch die ganze Idee, der verrückte Genre-Mix. Für Leser/Hörer ohne Berührungsängste mit dem Skurrilen ein Riesenspaß mit herrlich dunklen Untertönen.
Zum Sprecher:
Wieder legt Kobna Holdbrook-Smith sich mit Verve ins Zeug und macht das Hörbuch in der englischen Version zum königlichen Vergnügen. Stimmenvielfalt ist ein Kinderspiel, Akkzente sitzen, und er behält den lakonischen Tonfall des Ich-Erzählers Peter Grant bei, den wir schon aus RIVERS OF LONDON kennen. Bei aller britischen Beherrschtheit des Constable zaubert Holdbrook-Smith aber auch ein paar Emotionen unter die coole Schale des Peter Grant.
Dieses britische Understatement schüttelt Holdbrook-Smith allerdings mühelos ab, wenn es um verführerische Vamps geht, erzürnte nigerianische Mütter und die hoheitsvollen Gottheiten der Themse, welche uns auch in Teil 2 wieder die Ehre erweisen. Das ist farbenfroh und pures Entertainment.
Richtig gut gefällt mir nach wie vor die elegant-mysteriöse Aura von Thomas Nighingale, die Holdbrook-Smith mit seinem tadellosen RP perfekt unterstreicht. Genauso würde England's letzter zertifizierter Zauberer sprechen. Kußhand!
So sehr ich suche, ich finde hier nichts, aber auch GAR NICHTS zu kritisieren. Eine großartige Sprecherleistung. Ein Sahneteilchen. Grandios!

Strong sequel
I love the way the author expanded on the world and set up the larger arcs of conflict and character development. Add the city of London's continuing presence as a character plus some wizard bad-assery and you have a thoroughly enjoyable story.
The performance with wry humor and many mostly authentic accents adds extra personality and becomes inextricably linked with the characters and story.

Mehr Magie - Einfach Zauberhaft
Die Fortsetzung des genialen Buches "Revers of London" hält das Niveau. Das familiäre und magische Umfeld des Peter Grant wird spannend, humorvoll und schrecklich erweitert. Jazz-Vampire sind da noch die harmlosesten Halbwesen, denen er in Soho begegnet...
Wieder ist die Stimme von Kobra Holdbrook-Smith fast unbeschreiblich gut. Dieses Buch hatte ich zuerst als Kindle gelesen - und war schon begeistert - aber DIE Performance! Einfach Zauberhaft.

Amazing narrator
I read the first book of the series as a paper version and loved it. Now, after listening to the second book read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, I love the whole series even more. He breathes so much life into the characters and it truly feels it's Peter Grant himself telling the story. The best fit of narrator and book I've ever heard.
