This is so delightfully British and I love it! It is kind of a cross between a British cop mystery and American Gods. It is delightful! Also the protagonist is such a typical English protagonist - he is so clueless when it comes to social skills.

This has made me want to read more non-american work, because the view of character and storytelling in the typical American urban fantasy book is just so different from how people from other cultures think about how to build a story and who to feature in it.

This was very much what I needed to read and I read it in pretty much any break during the day that I had - including getting to sleep way too late for my own good on the account of this book.
