Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch

Whispers Underground (Rivers of London #3)

I really should have taken notes while I was reading. My brain’s a bit frazzled. That said, I did enjoy Whispers Underground. It was interesting.

I did find it somewhat amusing that I was reading this one while experiencing one of the now-yearly Texas ice storms. Got the real-life version of trudging through snow and ice at the same time Peter was.

I like that Lesley’s officially Folly now. The continued looks at her recovery make me happy. I also enjoyed the further looks at the Fae and adjacent world. Love me some expanding world-building. Still not entirely sure what Tyburn’s up to, but it definitely seems concerning.

The London rail system being involved here was fun. I think it’s neat to see how they dealt with the expanding rail and wanting to keep London “pretty” or whatever.

So yeah, Whispers Underground, another solid entry in the Rivers of London series.

"But this was a murder inquiry and woe betide any officer who breaks the chain of evidence, for they will be sat down and have what went wrong with the OJ Simpson murder trial explained to them at great length. With PowerPoint slides." - Pete Grant
