Catching up…
For those who are fans of the Rivers of London series, this is one in which it is much easier if you continue along with it on a regular basis, because the author has a tendency to leave stories hanging from one book to another. And his character arcs are continuing so readers do become vested in what is happening.
So, for those of us who may have taken a break, (like me) we may have forgotten the who is who, and feel a bit adrift and need reminding.
Still, in order for this series to effectively work, it needs to be read from the beginning. It is a bit of a fantasy police procedural read, and the characters do develop from one book to another, which allows the readers to find themselves evolving with the characters and the stories.
The adventures become fun, well-paced and interestingly somewhat original. Making this one a "reluctantly" well-received addition to the series.
3.5 stars rounded up

Ah! That's a great tip, especially for readers like me who like to jump into a series at random numbers. :D
