Reading all through The Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch, yet again. Every time I find new fascinating historical facts, smile or laugh aloud at the humour and get taken back to London, the city I love the most.
Then a novella takes small side trips elsewhere and new pleasures of wit and truly fantastic imagination arrive. Yet ethical, moral and social problems are deftly touched on and not ignored.
The latest book The Masquerades of Spring, is an absolute joy, and lightened my life through a harsh bout of 'flu.
Set in New York during the Jazz Age, written with characters in the style of PG Wodehouse and with an enchanted saxophone. 😊🤭🤗
And a younger Thomas Nightingale dancing the Black Bottom. Plus sensitive portrayal of how difficult it was to be gay in a time when it was illegal.
