#3 Stone and Sky by Ben Aaronovitch

 

Almost everyone with a connection to the Folly has decided to join Dr Walid on holiday to Scotland. It seems an old friend from college sent him some samples from a dead sheep that might have been attacked by a large cat.  So a camping holiday to do some hunting for Nightingale, Abigail to see magic outside a urban setting, Peter to have a beach holiday with his entire family, his Dad to play some jazz with his band, and his Mom to ride herd on everyone. Of course there is more than a mysterious large cat that appears and disappears in the area, turns out there was some sort of man killed and Peter is roped into that investigation.  Everyone gets a turn on the page but the main focus is on Peter and Abigail each working on what appears to be different cases.  This is a great story that really takes advantage of the setting in Scotland and maybe we can get more about magic around the entire island.
