Cardinal Black (Matthew Corbett Series #7
I read books 5 and 6 as well, but I never reviewed them. I wish I had because it's been so long since the last installment that I kind have forgotten where we are in the series.
But Corbett is in England. In book six he had adventures in London but eventually he fell into the clutches of Professor Fell in Fell's town in Wales.
In Book 7, Corbett must retrieve a book that was stolen from Fell at the end of Book 6. Corbett does this because the book holds the key to saving his girlfriend Betty's Mind. It's a road picture from Wales to London and back with lots of mayhem along the way. The key antagonist is Admiral Lash. Cardinal Black works for him. Corbett does better at the mayhem, more able to stand on his feet. Bu his partner along the way is another broken character named Devane. Lots of murders. Lots of strange characters.
The end of the book sets up the plot to sail to Italy to find a mirror that summons demons.
It's still well written. But like so many series these days, it seems like only a chapter in ongoing book rather than a discreet story.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
