As for the book itself, I very much liked it. It's funny, in a British irreverent way, and I found the references back to modern London juxtaposed with the magical elements quite engaging. I VERY much liked that Peter is mixed-race, working class, and NOT a DI or DCI, but just a lowly plod. As for the Rivers themselves, I like where this is going, though I don't think they're fully fleshed out (bad pun) yet.
Probably my least favourite character in these books is Leslie. The author really doesn't do much with her, and I think that's a mistake. She stays two-dimensional and flat, when she could be so much more.
Title: US edition is stupid. At least the UK edition makes a little sense, though it isn't a great title either.
