Publisher Description
NOBODY DOES IT BETTER . . .
Dr Mo O'Brien is an intelligence agent at the top secret government agency known as 'the Laundry'. When occult powers threaten the realm, they'll be there to clean up the mess and deal with the witnesses.
But the Laundry is recovering from a devastating attack and when average citizens all over the country start to develop supernatural powers, the police are called in to help. Mo is appointed as official police liaison, but in between dealing with police bureaucracy, superpowered members of the public and disgruntled politicians, Mo discovers to her horror that she can no longer rely on her marriage, nor on the weapon that has been at her side for eight years of undercover work, the possessed violin known as 'Lecter'.
If this wasn't bad enough, a mysterious figure known as Dr Freudstein is committing heists and sending increasingly threatening messages to the police. Who is Freudstein and what is he planning?
Customer Reviews
Fantastic
Thanks for another excellent book in the laundry series. The author has built a world of rich characters, with it being so good that I nearly didn't miss Bob. Really wish we could know how Mo and Bob turn out though.
Disappointed
Didn't work for me. I can see Mr Stross is trying to add more colourful characters but Dr O'Brien was too much like Bob for my liking but without Bob's humour. I got bored half way through as nothing seemed to be happening as the author tried to get to the end of the story. However I see there is another book due out in June with Alex and I'll be reading that as I generally do like on the whole Charles Stross's books
