Status Updates From Broken Homes (Peter Grant, #4)

‘How do you measure the intensity of the vestigia?’ asked Dr Walid.
‘He uses the dog,’ said Nightingale.
‘I put Toby in a box along with the material and then I measure the loudness and frequency of his barking,’ I said. ‘It’s no different from using a sniffer dog.’

Ooooh, science! xD

What an easy read (especially compared to Acceptance, which I am still mired in). Detective Peter Grant is always witty and brings supernatural CSI to London :)

Ah, some real ale finally. But drunk straight from the bottle like a true mainstream lager drinker.

SPECIAL BREW? jfc

. 'fizzy lager from a cask'??? LOL Fizzy? From a cask? Ha

Ah. Crawley.

It's always nice reading books set in places one knows.

This series just gets better & better.

Just met Ben Aaronovitch, he was lovely AND he signed all my books for me :D

Dus not finish

I like this start. It's very much like the case studies I've done.

Getting started....

Loving it. I hope the rivers get further involved. How solid is Bens description of London. I have to get back there.

Zach-schtupping achieved!

how many points for a Xanadu reference?

Pleased to see progress on my Lesley making out with Zach agenda

Peter's attitude towards Leslie's face makes me wish she would hook up with Zach from the last book.

was worried that there might be a fake-out dream sequence because this book's French title is "the architect's dream" and Peter, our POV character, had aspirations of being an architect. But another architect has appeared and I am moderately reassured.

muggins: NOUN (plural same or mugginses) British INFORMAL A foolish and gullible person (often used humorously to refer to oneself):muggins has volunteered to do the catering

"the Met being seriously mullered by spending cuts..." mullered: drunk, intoxicated, broken

speed in mph, I didn't realize this was an American volume

Good start. There's a dead body running about.

All the German is confusing me XD

"Nightingale had winced, as he always does, at my incorrect use of the accusative pronoun but I think I'm beginning to wear him down." - Have I mentioned that I love Nightingale?

I've grinned so much reading the first few pages I'm sure the people on the bus think I'm crazy ^^
