Ilustration During Books Dead Men's Boots (Felix Castor #3)
You might think that helping a friend's widow to stop a lawyer from stealing her husband's corpse would be the strangest thing on your To Do list. But life is rarely that simple for Felix Castor.A brutal murder in King's Cross bears all the hallmarks of a long-dead American serial killer, and it takes more good sense than Castor possesses not to get involved. He's also fighting a legal battle over the body - if not the soul - of his possessed friend, Rafi, and can't shake the feeling that his three problems might be related. With the help of the succubus Juliet and paranoid zombie data-fence Nicky Heath, Castor just might have a chance of fitting the pieces together before someone drops him down a lift shaft or rips his throat out. Or not. . .

I liked this one better than the previous one, but I still don't like the women in here. I can understand Juliet, she isn't a woman after all, but... What the Hell, Pen?? Are you moron?? And I don't like Felix martyr... Oh... poor me... I'm the cause of everything wrong in the World... No, man, no, the Universe is bigger than you.Brainycat's 5 "B"s:blood: 3boobs: 1bombs: 1bondage: 2blasphemy: 4Bechdel Test: PASSDeggan's Rule: FAILGay Bechdel Test: PASSWhen I finished the previous book in this series, I was disappointed that Felix didn't grow very much. Having now read the third installment, I forgive Mr. Carey for his earlier transgressions and applaud the way he rescued the series. Felix is becoming a proper heavy-hitter in the corner of this alternate London concerned with animated post-mortem kerfuffles, and as such
I must say I picked up the first of the series, The Devil You Know, and found it just didn't live up to my hopes. It was "borrow from the library" rather than "buy at the the book store". Which is what I did for Vicious Circle and didn't regret it. It was enjoyable but not really must have.I have to say, that's changed with this one. This felt a lot more polished and developed than it's predecessors. Mike Carey is definitely growing as a prose author and the series is improving. The biggest area
I really enjoy the mystery aspect of these books - the mix of mystery, ghosts, zombies, and demons is really fun. I also liked seeing more Juliet this book.
Goodreads star system stinks. This book was better than the first two. It wasn't a five star book and it also doesn't retroactively diminish the rating on the first two on the series. So this gets the same rating, even though it was better than the others.
LOVE this series. :)
~4.5Felix "Fix" Castor, ex-exorcist and provider of "spiritual services" (no, he doesn't know what it means either) is having woman troubles, and not just romantic ones. Sure, after the events of Vicious Circle, Pen, his unrequited love interest, isn't speaking to him, and Juliet, demonic succubus and his unrequited lust interest, has a committed relationship with another woman, but he has far more problems than that. Pen has gotten him embroiled in a nasty court case over his demonically-
