It's the third in a series of murder mysteries linked by the same detective. There's always something a bit creepy and unsettling about the setting and the story rattles along quickly with good character development. An easy read but one you can have a go at solving along the way too.

Very enjoyable and intriguing.

Very entertaining.

Excellent written book that tells fascinating stories of a Met detective's investigations in the ''underground world'', modern-day policing at the highest level.

The great humour

The great humour

The plot, the "plot" ;) and the world building - the whole series of ACOTAR is fantastic in my opinion

The characters are brilliant, the politics and world building are so in depth! Never really been into thr dragon thing but I LOVE the way this one is done, especially the communication between dragon and rider! Fabulous

The book is split into three separate story parts that follow on from each other to tell one long story. The characters are well thought out and the story sucks you in to the world of the "Others" the forces of Light and Dark and the struggle between the Night Watch and the Day Watch.

One of the most compulsively readable books, I have ever read. From the first paragraph, I was hoped. On the face of it, the protagonist, Sugar, a victorian prostitute, would not seem the most attractive subject for a long book. However, I defy anyone not to be dragged in to the world that is so skilfully described. I was a little heartbroken when the story came abruptly to an end, even after more than 800 pages. If I introduce even one more person to this wonderful book, then that will be a job. Well done. I cannot praise this author highly enough, although I have yet to read another of his books that was as utterly brilliant as this one. I work of some genius in my judgement.
