Book 4 in the Rivers of London series, from Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch. A mutilated body in Crawley. Another killer on the loose. The prime suspect is one Robert Weil - an associate of the twisted magician known as the Faceless Man? Or just a common garden serial killer? Before PC Peter Grant can get his head round the case, a town planner going under a tube train and a stolen grimoire are adding to his case-load. So far so London. But then Peter gets word of something very odd happening in Elephant and Castle, on an housing estate designed by a nutter, built by charlatans and inhabited by the truly desperate. Is there a connection? And if there is, why oh why did it have to be South of the River?

It's getting interesting
Peter while not especially gifted magically is very clever. His magic skills are progressing like you'd expect of an apprentice.
Nice twist at the end. Looking forward to more tales in this series.
I found it hard to follow the architecture descriptions, I could have used some drawings.
The ending is exciting and intense and sad.
If you like the series, you'll like this one.
