My name is Peter Grant, and I'm a keeper of the secret flame. Truth be told, there's a lot I still don't know. My superior Nightingale is trying to teach me proper schooling for a magician's apprentice. But even he doesn't have all the answers. A mutilated body in Crawley means another murderer is on the loose. But then I get word of something very odd happening in Elephant and Castle. Just the typical day for a magician constable.

Review of 'Broken homes' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I had the audiobook version, and enjoyed the narrator as well as the story. There is an overreaching plot that has started to really get serious that really pushed me to rush through this one. Can drag at time during set-up or historical background, but no so much that I was tempted to skip.

Cautions: Cursing, including numerous F-bombs, descriptions of not so nicely-murdered victims, bedroom content
