by Ben Aaronovitch I've read most of this series and really enjoyed it, though I think this one slowed down a little from the previous books. Peter Grant has a different sort of case. He's helping another department track down two missing girls and it isn't clear at the beginning that his special ...
This has been the best of the series for me as of late. Peter Grant is on his own, with the exception of Beverly Brooke, his new girlfriend and one of the Queens of a River. Peter has been sent on assignment from Falcon to help search the disappearance of two pre-teen girls and since this has the ...
Spoilers for those who have not read books #1 through #4. Seriously. I know I am probably going to get yelled at for this review. But I stand by everything I am saying. This felt like half a book. There were so many dangling threads left that when the book came to an end I had to make sure that I...
Two girls go missing from a rural English town. Peter Grant is sent to that town on a routine mission to check up on individuals with magic powers, living in the area. Initially, his inquiries go no where, finding no connection between these individuals and the missing girls. But he does n...
Every year, the new PC Grant novel (or Rivers of London novel as I tend to call them) is one of my most anticipated reads. Also, I need to wait for more than half a year until the right paperback edition is published (height 19,7 cm; I mean even the MMP gets published earlier!) And, while it's not l...
Peter Grant is back to being 50% of the Folly, the branch of the police dealing with the supernatural.This time, he's off his home turf of London and headed off to the country.Ostensibly going to take a look into a missing persons case, it soon turns into something else.Good vein of humour running t...
When two young girls go missing in rural Herefordshire, police constable and wizard-in-training Peter Grant is sent out of London to check that nothing supernatural is involved.It’s purely routine—Nightingale, Peter’s superior, thinks he’ll be done in less than a day. But Peter’s never been one to w...
Although I like it, Ben Aaronovitch's Peter Grant series has been a bit hit and miss. The first, Rivers of London, was an absolute stonker - think Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere as a police procedural. The second, Moon Over Soho was slightly dire but managed to redeem itself with a lively final third. Boo...
"Hail the conquering hero," said Beverly and held up her bottle to clink. "Sic transit Gloria mundi," I said, because it was the first thing that came into my head -- we clinked and drank. It could have been worse. I could have said, "Valar Morghulis" instead.It's always a pleasure to spend some t...
It’s been over a year in the waiting, but here we have the next Peter Grant novel. These are always a joy to read; fun, well-written and contain a fantastic comedic element that actually appeals to my sense of humour. I raced through this, enjoying Peter’s ‘escape to the country’. I did miss the Lon...
