The last full novel in the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch for now, and a return to form after the slightly disappointing predecessor. In this one, Peter Grant is investigating a series of bizarre and brutal murders with a common link being a short lived 1980’s evangelical cult. I particularly enjoyed the section of the book where the trail leads north to Manchester and the confused ghosts of World War II airmen who had lost their lives in the peaks above the city. The author has sensibly cut back on the puns and references in this one, although he can’t resist throwing in Monty Python quotes as the chapter headings which are a tangential clue to the mystery.
