However despite investigation, nothing is found linking him to magic. That's a clear sign that his death had something supernatural about it. The second Peter Grant mystery has him investigating the jazz scene in Soho when a drummer dies of a heart attack but has a famous jazz tune as part of his vestigia. I’ll be definitely be picking up the third one. You almost wanted to ask “Peter, don’t you have a case to work on?”It proved to be a quick read with a good open cliffhanger ending with the mystery of The ‘Faceless One’ which makes the series even more intriguing at this point.

He does have a thing with Simone that covers a good latter part of the book which is ok, although I thought it provided a lot of filler and it slowed the pace down considerably. Peter takes a lot of beating (both verbal and physical) during the book which is to be expected.

It’s nice to see Leslie again despite what happened to her (ahh but the ending though!). Supporting characters and some new ones are featured in the book. The mix with the supernatural blends quite well with real life London, I believe it’s probably even more enjoyable to read for those that are quite familiar to the city. The setting is dark and gritty, just right to complement the mystery that is prevalent to the case.

He tells it pretty bluntly and explains well for some of us who don’t live in London which helps understand the setting more. I still enjoy the way it’s being narrated by Peter Grant. You’re pretty much carrying on right after the events in the first book so it’s always better to get the background information before carrying on :)I was pleased with this one, complete with rather macabre scenes that will stick with me for a while. ***Spoilers ahead you’ve been warned***It is advisable to read the first one before you get into Moon Over Soho.
