Moon Over Soho

Another in my re-read of the whole series including short stories and graphic novels in chronological order!

This is a really sad one, Peter gets involved in a couple of different cases and falls in love (lust?) and we see parts of the aftermath of ‘Rivers of London’ with Lesley’s and Nightingale’s injuries.

A weaving story that brings Peter’s dad into the story and fills a little bit of his backstory out, again in a sad way, but with a promise of a better future.

We find out about how malignant magicians have been part of London’s criminal underworld from at least the 60s with Nightingale focus elsewhere and The Folly run down in staffing.

There’s also a bit building Molly’s backstory.

In a way this was a book of exposition building the world, conflicts, possible story threads, filling out a few histories, and introducing a lot of what will be fleshed out in further books. Abigail for a start.

Even with that in mind it is still a great little read, and I listened to this on the library app and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is just the perfect narrator for this series which does make it one of the few audiobook series I have time for!

Now on to a short story then Whispers Underground.
