About this listen

In the fifth of his best-selling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London - to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London you can't take the London out of the copper.

Travelling west with Beverley Brook, Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what's more all the shops are closed by 4pm....

I love this series, and have read them
as soon as they've been released. Generally I prefer reading over audiobooks because I like hearing the characters voices in my head the way I imagine them, if that makes sense. But not with Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. Not only is his range incredible, his female characters are as compelling as his male ones, and his various accents are completely convincing - but the really wonderful thing is that he brings the characters to life better than my imagination does. I felt like I properly got to know some of the characters for the first time after listening to this recording. The Ben & Kobna combo, doesn't get better than that.

Can Kobna Holdbrook-Smith please read all the books?

Another delight in this series. Special mention must go to Kobna Holdbrook-Smith for bringing every character to life and displaying a truly remarkable range of accents. Furthermore, he uniquely conveys the wonderful dry wit of Aaronovitch's stories. I couldn't recommened the series highly enough!!

Wish I could give 6 stars for the performance!

As usual, and probably my favourite part of this audio series, the narration by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is pitch perfect. I don't want to give any of the story away but long awaited events happen and you can feel the dominoes being set up for something exciting in the next installment. The real question is... how long will we have to wait for it?

If you are new to the Peter Grant series, start at the beginning. You won't regret it.

Can listen to this series on repeat!

Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is just the best. His reading of this whole series is something I could listen to over and over again. Well worth starting with The Rivers of London Ben Aaronovitch is a prolific and consistent writer. Each book builds a richer world of fantasy.
