The Hanging Tree – Ben Aaronovitch

I am so annoyed that I have to wait for the next book in this series. The last book, Foxglove Summer, was a bit of an interlude from the main story – who is the Faceless Man, and why is he fighting against the Folly? Well, interlude’s over, and Peter Grant’s very much back in the hunt.

This story also gets the Rivers very heavily involved, as Mama Thames’ granddaughter Olivia, daughter of Lady Tyburn, who isn’t so fond of Peter, gets herself involved in a murder, and Peter has to iron things out. How that ends up connecting to the Faceless Man is fascinating, and I really need to get the BF to read this as soon as possible so we can talk about. Not giving away any spoilers is going to kill me.
