Anyone else read this? OP's secret piques my interest.

Currently shipping Peter/Tyburn for tehs hator sexy.

Definitely!

I sort of shipped him with Molly for a bit, but I think she has a major thing for Nightingale. I can't make up my mind if Nightingale is straight, part of me is hoping for a unrequited or doomed forbidden love affair in his past to be revealed or if he had a wife who died and he carried on with his ageing backwards thing.

I think he's gay. Peter seems to - not that that proves anything, as Peter's not the world's most reliable narrator - but he definitely thought he was gay the first time they met. That might have been a misunderstanding, but he's said nothing to suggest he's changed his mind since.

I don't want an unrequited love affair - but I bet he lost someone at Ettersberg.

Really, I thought Nightingale and Molly was canon. He spends *special* alone time with her over Christmas and has (in the past) painted her naked, and Molly freaks when anything happens to Nightingale and generally acts very protective bordering on possessive towards him. Although it is odd that Aaronovitch hasn't written in a main gay character since he's been careful to hit virtually every other minority in the UK. I suppose there is Stephanopoulis, but she is lesbian which isn't quite the same as a gay man.

I think Nightingale & Molly are linked to the Folly. I sort of think Nightingale was making excuses about being alone for Christmas, or he feels guilty about Molly. I don't think it's really been established if she was human and something magical happened to her or if she's just magical.

He obviously feels guilty about Molly, or at least feels some responsibility for her, and she's obsessed with him (though not necessarily in a sexual way). But I think he's got more sense of preservation than to get involved with her sexually, and I took his staying with her over Christmas as a sign that he thought she needed an eye kept on her than anything else, whether for her own protection or for other people's.

Molly's very protective generally. She gets very threatening when Peter nearly goes to bed with Lesley when she's drunk and he's sober.

It's awesome and fun :D

OP of subthread - just read the rest of the comments.

Book six?! No thank you. Ah well.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-20 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
The series is planned to be six books long. He's just released book four right now. What a cliffhanger that ends on, who knew Peter would discover the Faceless Man was really Toby the dog all along!

Yes - really good. Intriguing world-building combined with a very strong sense of the real London, engaging characters (from a wide and interesting range of backgrounds), good plots. I am side-eyeing the latest big plot twist, but I'm willing to trust Aaronovitch, as he's been so good thus far.

The one with the electricity and the choice?

I kinda like that one. If anyone had a reason to defect it was that person. Especially given what was offered. It was well set up throughout the book too, I thought.

Hope that is vagued up enough for public discussion.

That's the one. Though actually think that the other person who expresses an opinion on the matter might be at least partly right, and that there's more going on than meets the eye.

Read these books they are fantastic. The individual crime stories of each book are a bit "meh" but characterisation and humor make more than up for it.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-21 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
Book three wasn't so hot. It was nearly all set up and planning for book four. Plus the blurb and publisher hype lied to me about an expected source of conflict in it, there was no conflict between the supposed conflicting parties.
