See my review of this book, and many more, at TalesfromtheGreatEastRoad.wordpress.com (Contains spoilers.) A car crash that kills a man who seems to have just murdered a woman with a shotgun to the face. The sudden and unexpected suicide of a man who seems to being controlled by magic. A man who...
First things first, it's actually a 3.5 from me. I had been eagerly anticipating this one, being a big fan of the series.Things started off well, with a body discovered in mysterious circumstances, followed by a suicide-that-wasn't, so everything was pointing towards another rollicking adventure fo...
What the hell did I just read? Where’s the rest of it? I need the rest of it NOW!On a more rational note, this is another better novel of the Peter Grant series. As ever, the strength of the writing and story lies on Peter’s narration and sarcastic voice, so if that hasn’t won you over by now, don’t...

That being said, 'not the strongest in the series' still makes it better than much of the genre and it's funny from the very beginning, so it's s...
Peter and Lesley are still trying to track down the Faceless Man and his erstwhile pupils; it’s a long, tedious task only achievable by dogged police work.Of course, the understaffed magical police force has plenty of other things to drag their attention – an ancient magical book that a thief tried ...
Feels like a mid-season episode of a favourite TV show. Comfortable & familiar, but doesn't affect the big picture much (except in a few pages right at the end).
Paranormal procedural mysteries with a heavy hand for architecture, urban planning, and jazz. Yeah, it's not everyone's cuppa, but I freaking love this series. In this particular entry, Grant is dealing with the kind of hideous high-rise so common to housing projects for the poor in big cities. My L...
