The hugely anticipated brand-new Rivers of London novel....
Peter Grant is facing fatherhood and an uncertain future with equal amounts of panic and enthusiasm. Rather than sit around, he takes a job with émigré Silicon Valley tech genius Terrence Skinner's brand-new London start-up - the Serious Cybernetics Company.
Drawn into the orbit of Old Street's famous 'silicon roundabout', Peter must learn how to blend in with people who are both civilians and geekier than he is. Compared to his last job, Peter thinks it should be a doddle. But magic is not finished with Mama Grant's favourite son.
Because Terrence Skinner has a secret hidden in the bowels of the SCC. A technology that stretches back to Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage and forward to the future of artificial intelligence. A secret that is just as magical as it technological - and just as dangerous.

Geschichte
My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (as the Filth to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May.

Geschichte
Camden, North London. A tangled, mangled junction of train lines, roads and waterways. Where minor celebrities hang out with minor criminals and where tourists and moody teenagers mingle. In the heart of Camden, where rail meets road meets leyline, you might find the Arcana Emporium, run by one Alex Verus. He won't sell you a wand or mix you a potion, but if you know what you're looking for, he might just be able to help.

Geschichte
When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case.Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger...

Denn auch hierzulande gibt es magische Vorkommnisse! Das deutsche Pendant zu Peter Grant heißt Tobi Winter und arbeitet beim BKA (Abteilung für komplexe und diffuse Angelegenheiten, sprich Magie). Tobi bekommt es mit seltsamen Bräuchen in den Weinbergen rund um Trier zu tun - und mit einem übernatürlichen Rätsel, das schon Hunderte von Jahren alt ist... Und natürlich hat in dieser Gegend auch die Mosel ein Wörtchen mitzureden, wenn es magisch wird.

Meet Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead. After inheriting a highly specialised and highly peculiar medical practice, Dr Helsing spends her days treating London's undead for a host of ills: vocal strain in banshees, arthritis in barrow-wights and entropy in mummies. Although barely making ends meet, this is the quiet, supernatural-adjacent life Greta's dreamed of since childhood. But when a sect of murderous monks emerges, killing human and undead alike, Greta must use her unusual skills to keep her supernatural clients - and the rest of London - safe.

Geschichte
Rotherweird is a twisted, arcane murder-mystery with shades of Deborah Harkness, Hope Mirrlees and Ben Aaronovitch, Mervyn Peake and Edward Gorey at their disturbing best. The town of Rotherweird stands alone - there are no guidebooks, despite the fascinating and diverse architectural styles cramming the narrow streets, the avant-garde science and offbeat customs. Cast adrift from the rest of England by Elizabeth I, Rotherweird's independence is subject to one disturbing condition: nobody, but nobody, studies the town or its history.

The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

Kluger Witz, gute Unterhaltung
Wieder ein amüsanter und kurzweiliger Roman der Peter-Grant-Reihe. Wer auf der Suche nach klugem Witz, einer Prise Fantasy und einem Krimi ist, der nicht mit Platitüden daherkommt, ist hier richtig.
Eine schwer zu findende Mischung, die fast ebenso speziell ist, wie einzigartigen Bücher von Douglas Adams. Dazu der großartige Sprecher - absolut hörenswert!

Hatte mich sehr drauf gefreut...
Das ganze Buch hat mit den Rivers of London nichts mehr zu tun.
Beverlys Sätze kann man an einer Hand abzählen... von den ganzen anderen wundervollen Figuren der letzten Bücher
taucht fast niemand auf. Selbst Tobi nur einmal. Peters progress in magic being mentioned only once.
Das ganze Buch wirkt wie im Eilverfahren geschrieben. Storyline. Bam.
zusammenhangslos. Die Figuren leblos und zu Handpuppen des Storytellers degradiert.
Freude macht wie immer Kobnas vocal acting.
Was bleibt ist die Vorfreude aufs nächste Abenteuer!

Audio is more
When this newest installment of the Peter-Grant-saga came out I bought it in print, read and enjoyed it. Having read and listened to all the previous books of the series I even kind of heard it already in my internal ear when reading it.
But now for a da capo I got in audio for real and it is just .. more. Performed by Kobra Holbrook-Smith this very good book - a new high-light for the series - becomes brilliant.
An added bonus was the joint interview with the author and the performer ad the end.

I used to read the books, but once I heard the velvet tones of this particular reader, I never went back. This plot was full of twists (as always), I love the development of characters - by now they feel like old friends. Can only recommend.

Really liked the story, also we get to know more about the Rivers. Looking forward to the next book, there is a huge Cliffhanger in the end.
