I like this better than either of the previous books; the voice is just as strong, but Aaronovitch finally seems to be coming into his own as far as plotting is concerned. I'm also gradually growing more connected to the secondary characters, who are lightly sketched but in a way that accretes as th...
It has been well established that I am a big fan of the Peter Grant series. Huge. So take that into consideration when I found this particular book in the series not quite as much fun as the first two. Still fun, still worth a read, but somehow, a little lacking. My husband found the same thing (and...
When I read the first book in Ben Aaronovitch's Peter Grant series, I was seriously blown away. I loved everything about it -- the story, the character of Peter, the meld of fantasy/magic with Peter's scientific nerd cred, the meld of urban fantasy with police procedure and the humor -- all of it. ...
A good mixture of crime and magic. Focuses more on the procedure of crime investigation with the magic as a side effect - the magical creatures (the Rivers, quiet ones and Little Crocodiles) add to the story without detracting from the ingeneous plot. Find myself enjoying each book more and more, es...
It doesn’t normally take me this long to get through urban fantasy. The book just got away from me. Literally. I lost it, along with the rest of the series, to relatives visiting over Christmas break and didn’t get around to getting another copy until last week. So I’m just making sure to say the da...

Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant, #3) by Ben Aaronovitch If you like urban fantasy and you haven't yet tried this series, do so. Now. The first book is Midnight Riot. Go find it. You'll thank me later. If you haven't read the first two in the series, don't read my review. It doesn't contain any s...
I was a bit wary of reading this one. I loved the first in the series - Rivers of London - but the second book just didn't do it for me. Happily, this book was a return to form and I really enjoyed it. The good: We're back to London being as much a character as the actual characters. Lesley May is...
After reading Moon Over Soho, I wasn’t too sure where this series was going and I started this with some trepidation. Luckily, there is so much for me to love in Whispers Underground. Peter Grant is really starting to grow on me. Ben Aaronovitch has a way with words, which he aptly puts into Peter’s...
