It'll be one of the Strike books by JK Rowling (Strike lives in a flat in Denmark Street, above his office)

🤣 I have read all of them except the last one! And somehow I didn't pay any notice. But I don't live in London so I suppose the setting would be just "London" for me whereas a Londoner would know the streets.

They are so brilliant - the most creative books and really funny. Never read anything like them before! Got the latest one on pre-order for October. Made the mistake of buying the ones with the really cool cover designs that cost loads

I'm listening on audio books, the narrator is fantastic.

@IsadoraQuagmire I may have been sad enough to have looked up houses in Dulwich that could be the Stephens' house, so I can imagine them better..

Oh me too!!😊
