So much fun!
The book is about a trainee copper who discovers he can do magic (after he sees a ghost). He's then transferred into the magic police force division and immediately has a very difficult and disturbing case to solve, all while learning his new-found talent and trying to stop a war between the two gods of the River Thames.
Tongue-in-cheek, gruesome, and terribly nifty, I think most people would enjoy this book.

I have read some lovely books recently. (Including my March/April challenge book.)

My most recent read was excellent, but I'm not sure "lovely" is an accurate description.

I considered reading Persepolis after seeing the film. Do you know how the comic compares to it? *NM*

It's really, you know, the same. Only without Chiara Mastroianni's voice, obviously. *NM*
