The Masqueraders of Spring, by Ben Aaronovitch (2024) was unexpectedly amusing. I had given up on the series quite a few books ago as they were spiraling down into a direction I don't enjoy. This one was loaned to me by a friend who said it was different, and it was. It's a fairly light-hearted tale set in the 1920s, written in a decent copy of the style of P.G.Wodehouse, except for a few more serious elements (after all, it is an Aaronovitch book). Recommended.
