Christopher Fowler

Arthur Bryant and John May of London's Peculiar Crimes Unit are called in when an elderly woman is found dead inside her own home with her lungs filled with river water, launching an investigation that brings them face to face with a rising death toll, a killer with a unique motive for murder, and dark secrets hidden in London's underground. Reprint.

The Water Room

Interesting. Well plotted. A bit dense in parts, and one or two scene-setting passages read like entries from Wikipedia, but there’s intrigue, humour, and enough different threads to knit another book. If you like London, history, and mythology, it may be fir you. I know I’ll deffo be looking for more.
