Broken Homes
Paranormal procedural mysteries with a heavy hand for architecture, urban planning, and jazz. Yeah, it's not everyone's cuppa, but I freaking love this series. In this particular entry, Grant is dealing with the kind of hideous high-rise so common to housing projects for the poor in big cities. My Le Corbusier rant is long and full of vitriol, so I won't go into it here, plus Aaronovitch makes it sound better coming out of Peter Grant. Here I'll just point out that associating evil with these kinds of projects is a natural. And there are all kinds of geeky Dr. Who and Harry Potter jokes, so, yay!
Personal copy because after starting the sample I could not wait to read the rest.
