“The scope of your ignorance Peter is truly frightening”
This book is the funniest in the series so far. Peter seems to have decided to take a step back in terms of his weird internal monologue (though can’t refrain from a few sexist and ableist remarks) and it’s very clear that everyone around him regards him as a bit of an oddball and not the most with-it police officer. Despite that, he’s always stuck into the action and has a great deal of interesting adventures across London. Just enough excitement to wake me up on a morning commute.
Content warning for claustrophobia:he gets enclosed in a very small space underground

Content warning for claustrophobia:
Graphic: Racial slurs and Murder
Moderate: Ableism, Death, Gun violence, Sexism, Violence, and Excrement
