Definitely Abigail doesn't see it. What I remember is Abigail being pleased at how deftly she handled Simon's mom so that the woman didn't stop Abigail from going into the house.
But I am surprised at Aaronovitch. His own son is black, so you'd think he would be more aware of the dynamics. Plus, Aaronovitch is writing Peter, so he can't be less aware than Peter is, right??
I did love Abigail's last conversation with Nightingale. Thomas treats her with as much respect as he does Peter (maybe, at Thomas' age, they both seem equally children). He gives Abigail a strategic answer to her question, one that would matter to a grown combatant. It reminded me a bit of the dynamic between Holmes and Mary Russell when Mary was a child. They both know he's miles more expert, but he doesn't act like she's stupid.
