Hard to avoid comparisons with ben aaronovitch’s “rivers of london” series

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

The clown service refers to an element of britain’s intelligence service that also deals with weirdness

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

It differs from rivers of london as that series almost has london as an additional character with strong links into the myths and history of the city the clown service is set in london but with less of a focus on the city itself

After an unfortunate bog up in the middle east decidedly middling secret agent toby greene is sent back to london in disgrace with nought but a concussion dished out by a man previously considered to be the most fragile flower in espionage to console him

It turns out that section 37 is that branch of the service dedicated to protecting the nation from paranormal preternatural supernatural type dangers

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

Basically the type of outlandish yet undeniably dangerous to national order events that would give all other branches of the security service and law enforcement a permanent twitch in their institutional eye

So much so in fact that toby greene is the only employee at section 37 and so when the timeywimey stuff hits the fan its up to just him and section 37 chief august shinning to save the country the world and possibly the laws of physics

As the boss and for a long time the sole member of section 37 shinning has unsurprisingly seen a lot of strange stuff and so its no surprise that he takes the evil machinations of olag krishnin baddest baddy ever to be disavowed by the soviet union in his stride
