The Hanging Tree

Marvelous. Peter continues to have a hazardous but fascinating time encountering the fantastical and magical in London whilst solving murder mysteries, attempting to apply science and police procedure to the absurd, and introducing the reader to snippets of London's history and architecture. The overarching plot that has continued through the series has some appreciable momentum in this entry as well. A good balance of wry asides and moments with Nightingale and other recurring characters. I love this world, I love how Aaronovitch writes, I'm happy to continue in this series. Also happy to find that the library not having the audiobook for this book was a blip, and having put a hold on the next in the series, I can look forward to being regaled with the future adventures of Peter Grant in the mellifluous tones of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith once again. 🥰
