4.0

I had read most of these short stories before, but it was still nice to have them all in one conventient place. And some of them were new to me. I enjoyed all of them very much. I think Aaronovitch often ends the stories a bit abruptly, but once I got used to that it was fine. And I really love any extra bit about Peter and the others from the Rivers of London stories, especially Abigail and Dominic.

2024: yep, same opinion as before. These are a lot of fun, if often rather short.
