The book starts well as we are learning with the main character that magic is alive and well in Modern London and that rivers have gods and goddesses, all while trying to solve a series of grisly murders.
The tone is light and funny but about 2/3 into the book, the silliness takes over and the fun disappears. I found reaching the end slow and painful and decided that this series was not for me.
This is too bad as I did enjoy the first 2/3 of the book immensely.
