A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.
The blurry lines between crime and fantasy writing keep on getting ever more fluid, and Ben Aaronovitch's 'Rivers of London' series is a perfect amalgam of police procedural in a world we know well but where magic intervenes and the job of police constable Peter Grant is impossibly complicated as a result. This 4th volume takes our hero and his cohorts south of the Thames into a world of familiar high rises where spells and the supernatural defy the laws of nature to sometimes hilarious effect. Terribly enjoyable stuff, as if Terry Pratchett had lost his whimsy and turned into Ed McBain but not forgotten the best jokes. You'll read this with a wide smile across your face.
