Hi Cara, Today on my blog I am reviewing book 4 in Ben Aaronvitch River of London series Broken Homes. The previous books in the series are;
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 or 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 a 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?
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Broken Homes adds more and more strangeness into Peter life.
When I started reading Broken Homes I did not think it would end up as it did. The end 1/4 of the book where it's full of tension. The other 3/4 is its normal funny, interesting characters and an engaging crime story.
I don't feel like a can say much more without spoiling elements, especially the main revelation at the end.
My rating for Broken Homes is 4 out of 5.
