Book 3 in the Rivers of London series, from Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch.

Peter Grant is learning magic fast. And it's just as well - he's already had run-ins with the deadly supernatural children of the Thames and a terrifying killer in Soho. Progression in the Police Force is less easy. Especially when you work in a department of two. A department that doesn't even officially exist. A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at. And then there's his love life. The last person he fell for ended up seriously dead. It wasn't his fault, but still.

Now something horrible is happening in the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the tube system that honeycombs the ancient foundations of London. And delays on the Northern line is the very least of it. Time to call in the Met's Economic and Specialist Crime Unit 9, aka 'The Folly'. Time to call in PC Peter Grant, Britain's Last Wizard.

The stories are good but Kobna Holdbrook-Smith makes the truly addictive. I thoroughly enjoy listening to him. His voice gives the story a power of its own.

Seriously addictive

Schöne Fortsetzung wenn auch nicht ganz so gut wie seine früheren Bücher. Der Sprecher ist der Hammer. Tolle Akzente und er singt sogar.

Bester Sprecher im englischsprachigen Raum.

I love these stories and Mr Holdbrook Smith is a joy to listen to. I seem to have to buy all of them. Highly recommended.

Narrator is truly wonderful

Another superb performance by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith: it is such a joy to listen to the voice and appreciate the various class and ethnic accents that make the story so much richer than the e-/print version.

But the story gets more and more complicated. While it was possible to understand and enjoy “Moon over Soho” without necessarily having read/listened to “Rivers of London” this is no longer the case here. Lack of prior knowledge of the characters and the rules that govern them makes it impossible to understand the plot.

And it is an expanding plot: acquiring now also the hint of international aspects (and I do not just refer to the female FBI agent who is really a redhead…) and discoveries deep underground. The hero and the plot almost get lost in the tunnels and sewers and suddenly the murder case the listener has almost forgotten is solved. Wow, magic – but not for beginners.

However if you are – like me - a fan of the series: enjoy. The hints are there: this book is a link between the beginnings and what is to follow in “Broken Homes” and (hopefully many more) further sequels.

Not for beginners: Magic gets more complicated

Rivers of London - some of my all-time-favourites! Even better being read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith!

Luv ya, Kobna!
