Location: UK		I enjoyed Ben Aaronovitch's novella The Masquerades of Spring,a tale of a Rivers of London character set in the Jazz Age in New York.which was surprising but very interesting. I learned a lot about NY life in the 1920s especially the demi-monde and how inter racial mixing took place,often difficult and dangerous circumstances,especially complicated by same sex relationships. Add some jazz,weird musical instruments that affect their owners,tough gangsters bahtub booze and a fun look at a much younger Thomas Nightingale,and it all made for a pleasant read on a wet miserable day outside, a warm cosy home indoors. Good stuff
Still have Aaronovitch's Stone and Sky to bring my following the Rivers of London series to completion.
