Thicker Than Water by Mike Carey
Dec. 23rd, 2012 06:54 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Names and faces he thought he'd left behind in Liverpool resurface in London, bringing Castor far more trouble than he'd anticipated. Childhood memories, family traumas, sins old and new, and a council estate that was meant to be a modern utopia until it turned into something like hell . . . these are just some of the sticks life uses to beat Felix Castor with as things go from bad to worse for London's favourite freelance exorcist.
See, Castor's stepped over the line this time, and he knows he'll have to pay; the only question is: how much? Not the best of times, then, for an unwelcome confrontation with his holier-than-thou brother, Matthew. And just when he thinks things can't possibly get any worse, along comes Father Gwillam and the Anathemata. Oh joy . . .

The Verdict:
The fourth in Mike Carey’s FELIX CASTOR SERIES is another gripping page-turner that pulls together different strands from the earlier books to make a thrilling read that really adds to the series. Although it doesn’t work as a standalone book – you do need to read the preceding books to get the most out of it – I think it’s well-worth the investment.
