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?
Kundrecensioner
Damned good!
Damne or darned good, depending on your upbringing and sensibilities. At least as good as all other Charles Stross novels, all of which are better than most anything else. This one written from the heroine's point of view, which adds another layer of interest for the reader and undoubtedly added another layer of challenge for Stross in his writing. I'd say it's an unmitigated success.
This book is highly recommended. But start at the beginning of the Laundry series and read the stories in order. That'll be best!
