This was a great little story I read right after Neverwhere. I thought the Marquis de Carabas was an interesting character in Neverwhere (but weren't they all), so this was a nice extra to bring me back from that world. But I want more. I may just need to read some other books by this author. ( )

The improvement in writing style is pretty noticeable.
It was lovely to read about Marquis. ( )

How can you not want to know more about the Marquis? ( )

As much as I loved re-entering the fantastic world of London Below, this short story was an absolutely tease. We’re dropped into the middle of a story with the Marquis in trouble and having lost his most important possession, we’re overwhelmed with hints about who the Marquis was in the past, and ultimately we’re left wondering what’s next for the always-in-trouble rogue. I guess that’s the whole point of the story, but I sure hope that Gaiman decides to delve a little further into it with the forthcoming full-length sequel to Neverwhere! ( )

We`re returning to the world of Neverwhere with this short story as its direct sequel in which the not so dead Marquis trying to retrieve his favourite coat. Gaiman is physically unable to write anything less than genius so this is also a wonderful little tale with the well known characters from the novel. ( )
