"Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London’s Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he’ll face is a paper cut. But Peter’s prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter’s ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny. Now, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic."--Goodreads blurb
I wasn't a fan of this book. I liked the premise of the story but a lot about this author's writing made me wince, not least of which was how he wrote his women characters. The acceptance of life-altering information from characters was so unbelievable and the character development and world-building just wasn't there for me. I've heard a lot of people really like this series, but I won't be moving forward with it.
