Gehört zur ReiheThe DEDA Files (1)
A magical serial killer is on the loose, and gelatinous, otherworldly creatures are infesting the English countryside. Which is making life for the Ministry of Occultism difficult, because magic is supposed to be their best kept secret. After centuries in the shadows, the Ministry is forced to unmask, exposing the country's magical history--and magical citizens--to a brave new world of social media, government scrutiny, and public relations. On the trail of the killer are the Ministry's top agents- a junior operative with a photographic memory (and not much else), a couple of overgrown schoolboys with godlike powers, and a demonstrably insane magician. But as they struggle for results, their superiors at HQ must face the greatest threat the Ministry has ever known- the forces of political correctness . . .

Its a supernatural horror/comedy with a quite compelling detective story too. I received the audio version as a gift, not really into audiobooks much but the author does a great job with it, lots of different voices etc.
Although there is a main character, there's also a large supporting cast all of them very memorable, the book feels quite dense, full of story and character.
Yahtzee's novels always combine darkness and comedy, and it can take a while before you get on the wavelength he's using. The comedy is genuinely funny but the darkenss or rather authenticity is also genuine.
Some comedy elements can feel a tad dated, theres a lot about political correctness in here, but its not as bad as a previous book [b:Jam|15821931|Jam|Yahtzee Croshaw|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1344702847l/15821931._SY75_.jpg|21551581], which had people being ironic in a very early nineties way ;) .
Overall a very solid story, mystery and world building with lots of twists to keep things interesting.
