missingvolume | #9 The Masquerades of Spring by Ben Aaronovitch (Reply)

This is the earliest set story in the Rivers of London series and is works for both new and old fans. Augustus has moved from London to New York and has set himself up nicely when his old school friend Thomas Nightingale comes to town on Folly business. Jazz features in this since Augustus is a big fan of it. It was nice to see someone who knew Nightingale from before the War and the New York Jazz scene features quite a bit in this since Nightingale’s quarry is involved with this a bit. Overall, a great story and maybe we will see more of Gussie down the line.
