Broken Homes

Another into the reread marathon and this really feels like we are starting to get into the real meat of the series.

Multiple deaths, glamours, and suspicious goings on in South London with the spectre of the Faceless Man at every turn makes this another great read in the series.

In this episode we are gradually being led to more branches of formal magic outside the British establishments Newtonian method, this time industrial German.

This did take a bit more concentration than the other books so far as threads and ideas were woven into each other and seemingly unrelated bits all came together into one thread.

Lots of reoccurring characters from various parts of the police and demi monde was nice and gives their characters a lot more flesh and opportunities for the future.

Oh and the twist at the end though sort of expected was worth the wait.

Still loving listening to these on audiobook with Kobna Holdbrook-Smith adding so much to the story.
