I know the next book is supposed to be out in the UK in September, but I'm not sure if that's worldwide or not.
And yeah, the twist at the end took me totally by surprise too, to the extent that I didn't fully realise what I'd read until a page or so later. It's all set up very delicately - the 'call your boss' moment with Varvara looks different in hindsight, and Lesley's dissatisfaction with the way the magic police deal with stuff.
Also, ha, I started reading these books so that I could understand a Yuletide fic I was Britpicking a few years ago - in fact, a lot of the stuff I've picked up over the years is so that I could follow along with various fics and fan chatter :-).
