Review: Stone & Sky

Stone & Sky by Ben Aaronovitch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The blurb for this sounds like the start of a joke:

Detective Sergeant Peter Grant, his partner Beverley, their young twins, his mum, his dad, his dad's band and their dodgy manager, his boss, DCI Thomas Nightingale, and his cousin Abigail go to Aberdeen for a holiday. Oops forgot the talking fox.

The next thing you know there's dead Selkies (well TBH only one), a giant Panther, and all manner of Weird Bollocks which require Peter's special brand of investigative powers. Considering its been five years (FIVE YEARS) since I last read a book in this series (for some reason I didn't read Book 9 although I'm sure I've got it, I had no difficulty in picking it up.

Some cracking bits of humour - love the twins 'Shout, shout' yelling (when you get there you'll know).

Loved it from start to finish.
