I finished "Lies Sleeping" a couple of days ago and was happy with Aaronovitch's latest entry in the Rivers of London series. What keeps me coming back for more of Peter and friends is the humor, history/mythology and - nerd that I am - the architectural commentary. Oh, and the characters, of course. :)  I'm looking forward to more Holdbrook-Smith/Aaronovitch magic when book #8 is released.
