@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..

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

The latest one is just out... and the people saying London and Sark are probably reading the same one too

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
