Review of 'The Hanging Tree' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I was so hesitant to pick this up because I pre-ordered it, then I waited forever, and the date of release kept getting pushed back and back that I just sort of gave up. That was a mistake.

The book was awesome, I really liked it, set around places I know and have been to before in london (which is always some of the appeal), and with the classic police procedural drama combined with urban fantasy I've come to love from the other books.

The only thing I feel made this book miss a star is that I didn't feel it dug into any new area of the "weird stuff" going on in london in any detail like the others did. Still it was interesting and fun and what I was looking for when I picked it up.

Also one of the major characters is trans, which is awesome.
