Happily, I’d say this fifth installment in the Peter Grant series is a step up from number four. For the first time since the first book in the series, the plot centers primarily on one case, and boy did that help it feel so much more focused! I’m disappointed that Nightingale’s involvement was mini...

This series is so much fun, PC Peter Grant is caught perfectly between the world of the supernatural and being a cop.

I've fallen in love with the "Rivers of London" series. I look forward to each new book because I know I will slide into a world of PC Peter Grant and feel happier for being in his company: a mixed-race police constable in the Met, he approaches the world with an insatiable curiosity, a passion fo...

I don't think I ever expected one of the Rivers-books to take place outside of London. The city always played such a prominent part that I couldn't expect Peter solving crime somewhere else. Well, but he did and it worked (thankfully without turning Peter too much into 'city boy who has no clue how ...
