the_follyLearned more about Rivers-of-London London, yay!
Ok, in 'What Abigail did that Summer' I learned that Abigail shows anorectic/self harming behaviour... honestly, they should just offer room and board to a couple of psy bachelors at the Folly, they'd earn their keep by getting everyone to talk and they'd have exellent material for their PhDs!
There are a few people introduced, will be interesting to find out if we meet them again...
A Folly-aware possible spy person, working at the Home Office, offering to pay Abigail to 'work' for her.
Her son, who Abigail strikes up a friendship / adventuring fellowship with. There's something wrong with him, but I can't really put my finger on what exactly, I suspect he's a 'goblin boy' of some sort. He can just open locked doors and there seems to be a low level glamour in his opposition-melting smile... and Abigail gives his mother schooling advice for him at the end of the book that may also imply some mental disability.
Abigail also gets involved with a squad of surveillance/cold war spy networking trained, talking foxes
(who dominate her by moving into her intimate distance immediately, moving into her flat by the end of the book). ((I suppose I'm to old and too much of a country dweller to be enchanted by that)).
But Abigail uses them as her personal cctv/surveillance force, so it's win-win, I guess.
Was a bit of a slog, but somebody on tumblr drew the important bits!
this causes holes in pavement
debrief
Now a RoL comic! *bounce*
