Series: Rivers of London #1 This is not only not the first time that I've read this book but it's not the first time I've listened to the audiobook. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith does an excellent job as narrator and Ben Aaronovitch succeeds at writing first-person novel with a distinct voice. Peter himse...
Okay . . . man, how to sum this one up. Peter, Lesley and Abigail Kamara (a teen-aged neighbor of Peter's parents) go down into the tunnels of the Underground to look for ghosts, and find one. What we learn here will be important come The Furthest Station. This is a fun little foray into the ...
When I think back over the first books in this series, I remember them being a lot of fun -- pretty funny, really, with moments of tension and drama. I don't know why I think that. Listening to the first two have been a good corrective. Yes, Peter is witty, and some of what he does while learning ...
This is an audio-only release (for now anyway) about Peter (and Toby) go looking for a poltergeist in the stacks of the basements of The British Library. Harold Postmartin was hanging out at the Folly when Peter got the case, and wouldn't let him shrug it off for awhile, so he got to do a little fie...
The best part about listening to this was being reminded just how good this novel was -- sure, I remember liking it a lot (if for no other reason than I've read five more plus a collection of comics), but I didn't remember it being this good. Briefly -- in this we're introduced to a probationary c...
Poseidon’s Children #1 I wasn’t sure what to make of this book based on the description, but it was one that I’d been meaning to read, I needed a new book to listen to, and the narrator is the same guy who reads the Peter Grant books (which apparently upset some of Alastair Reynolds’s regular audi...
Probationary Constable Peter Grant wants to become a murder cop but seems far more likely to become a paper pusher. That all changes after he speaks to a ghostly witness at a crime scene and his abilities and willingness to keep an open mind bring him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Th...
This is the second book in the books about DC Peter Grant and as such, this review may contain certain spoilers for book one, Rivers of London. That's the book you want to start with. Something is killing jazz musicians in Soho. A promising jazz saxophonist, Cyrus Wilkinson, drops dead of an appa...
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...
Peter Grant is my new favorite fictional cop. His smart-ass voice, bumbling policing, and attempted scientific approach to magic won me over as completely as the fully realized world he inhabits. I’ve already put the next book in the series on my TBR list. I highly recommend this in the audiobook ...
