grundyscribbling1 whole book this week...
The Masquerades of Spring by Ben Aaronovitch is the latest in the Rivers of London series. It see Nightengale travel to Jazz Age Harlem on a personal mission. His best clue is a mysterious enchanted saxophone. The NYC demimonde mixes with the NYC non-magic underworld, which could leave Nightengale and his reluctant assistant Augustus "Gussie" Berrycloth-Young in worse than just hot water with the Folly...
I've never read a Rivers of London book that wasn't enjoyable, and this one is no exception. Also, I've just noticed Aaronovitch has now done one novella for each of the four seasons, three of them outside of England. I wonder what he's up to with that pattern...
(Also, for any other Rivers of London fans, new book coming in July: Stone and Sky!)
