Our view
“Moon Over Soho” is a light-hearted blend of police work and magic, set in a London the book plainly loves. Several cases run into one another, and the larger backstory is released in small, teasing doses. Some readers rank it below the first volume, with favourite characters getting less to do; as the second book of a long series it mostly prepares the ground for later ones.
