THE BRAND NEW NOVEL IN THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING RIVERS OF LONDON SERIES

'This isn't London. The rules are different up here, and so are the allegiances.'

Detective Sergeant Peter Grant takes a much-needed holiday up in Scotland. And he'll need one when this is over...

If more's the merrier, then it's ecstatic as his partner Beverley, their young twins, his mum, dad, his dad's band and their dodgy manager all tag along. Even his boss, DCI Thomas Nightingale, takes in the coastal airs as he trains Peter's cousin Abigail in the arcane arts.

And they'll need them too, because Scotland's Granite City has more than its fair share of history and mystery, myth ... and murder.

When a body is found in a bus stop, fresh from the sea, the case smells fishy from the off.

Something may be stirring beyond the bay - but there's something far stranger in the sky...

I have loved this series but unfortunately I felt the story fell flat and was quite boring. However Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s narration was amazing as ever and probably the only reason I was able to listen to the end.

Sadly Disappointing

Once again Kobna Holbrook-Smith imbues every character with a unique voice. Excellent narration from both narrators and another gripping story in the Rivers of London series Ben Aaronovich packs in so much detail I don’t know how he manages to make it all work so well.

Brilliant narrators

Kobna Holbrook-Smith and Shvorne Marks did a remarkable job of bringing to life Ben Aaronovitch’s latest Rivers of London tale. The earnestness passion and world weariness they bring to the narrative is very satisfy. Mr Aaronovitch’s ability to fit supernatural skulduggery and shenanigans into the everyday day operational policing framework makes what could have been fantasy make believe, seem much more grounded and real. There is quite a profound suspension of disbelief.

Excellent narration spot on procedurals

Loved Kobna’s narration, but dislikedShvorne’s. it was a distraction. Foxes are brilliant and the music.

Storyline

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
So clever, so funny and so entertaining, and the narration by Kobna in Ben’s Rivers series is second to none he always brings these books to life.

Another great adventure with the folly
