About this listen

There's something going bump on the Metropolitan line, and Sergeant Jaget Kumar knows exactly whom to call.

It's PC Peter Grant's specialty.... 

Only it's more than going 'bump'. Traumatised travellers have been reporting strange encounters on their morning commute, with strangely dressed people trying to deliver an urgent message. Stranger still, despite calling the police themselves, within a few minutes the commuters have already forgotten the encounter - making the follow-up interviews rather difficult. 

So with a little help from Abigail and Toby the ghost hunting dog, Peter and Jaget are heading out on a ghost hunting expedition.

Because finding the ghosts and deciphering their urgent message might just be a matter of life and death.

Read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.

Critic Reviews

"The Hanging Tree is definitely one of the best in the Grant/Aaronovitch pantheon. There again, so have most of the previous books in the series and the odds are the next one probably will be too." (The Bookbag)

"Aaronovitch deftly balances urban fantasy with the police procedural. As for Grant, he's a wonderful blend of laconic copper and, methodically researching how magic works, full-on nerd." (Crime Scene)

"This series is brilliant!" (Teen Librarian)

I have listened more than once to every book. This series is great, funny, clever and a great listen. But the actor reading the story is the best! Have read the books in print and the audio book is actually better! Have read them all, love the series. Would listen again. Always come back and read when I need an easy listen that’s also fun in an amazingly in depth world.

These books are so much fun!

The Furthest Station is by far the best in the PC Grant London Rivers Series. But why did it have to be so short?

The London Rivers and Peter Grant just keep getting better and better

Much too short! I wish it was a novel not a novella. Loved it though.

Short but sweet

The Rivers of London books are a fantastic series. Being an ex Londoner living on the other side of the world I have become a little homesick listening to the descriptions of my city of birth. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith brings the characters to life in a way few other narrators achieve. The Furthest Station is well written and sits equally amongst its sister stories.

A great story wonderfully narrated

Great combination of author and narrator to present a great book in the series. Has all you come to expect from this series solid storyline combined with believable creative and immersive world in modern day London. Loved it, can’t recommend it and the series enough, on about my third round of listening.

Loved it
