This was another good book in the Alex Verus series. I always enjoy these books, they are good investigative urban fantasies and entertaining to read.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobooks are well done. Jackson sounds exactly like I imagine Alex Verus would. Some of the women's voices are a bit off sounding, but it's not bad and all the characters have unique voices.
In this book Alex's past is coming back to haunt him. He did some things he's not proud off when he was a Black Apprentice and those things are coming to call.
We meet a couple interesting new characters, however mostly it's our old favorites...Luna, Sanders, Anne and Variam. There is some interesting background on Anne and Variam. Luna doesn't get much page space though and there isn't a lot of development of her character.
As with previous books the main mystery is wrapped up and the next storyline is hinted at.
Overall a good continuation of the Alex Verus series. I am never super impressed by these books, but I do enjoy them. There's not a ton of world-building but there is a good mystery and some interesting characters. I would recommend to those who are looking for a humorous urban fantasy. While this isn't in my top 5 urban fantasy series, it is a fun one and I enjoy it.
