Publisher's Summary
Suspicious deaths are not usually the concern of PC Peter Grant or the Folly, even when they happen at an exclusive party in one of the most expensive apartment blocks in London. But Lady Ty's daughter was there, and Peter owes Lady Ty a favour.
Plunged into the alien world of the super-rich, where the basements are bigger than the house and dangerous, arcane items are bought and sold on the open market, a sensible young copper would keep his head down and his nose clean. But this is Peter Grant we're talking about.
He's been given an unparalleled opportunity to alienate old friends and create new enemies at the point where the world of magic and that of privilege intersect. Assuming he survives the week....
Read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
Features an audio-exclusive interview with Ben Aaronovitch and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.

Enticing literary description and use of metaphors
I love the way the mundane become captivating through unusual and often humorous metaphor. The story is captivating although does leave you part way through an adventure; yet allows readers to jump in to this book without having read its predecessors

As always - fantastic!
Once again a fantastic trip into the world of Peter Grant and The Rivers. If you're a fan of the series you wont be disappointed, if you're new to the series start from the beginning (Rivers of London) - you'll be hooked! Kobna Holdbrook-Smith has yet again nailed the narration making it incredibly difficult to stop listening when you really should be doing something else.
Can't wait for the next installment!!

Kobna is outstanding
I've read all the previous Rivers of London books in paperback and thoroughly enjoyed them. But from here on, I'll be keeping an eye out on Audible for future instalments. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's excellent narration takes Peter Grant's adventures to a new level.

Brilliant
Brilliant story in the series.
Not as funny but very good.
Great if you are interested in police procedural with personality and a touch of grown up magic - no Harry P here!

Excellent narration!
So easy to listen to, great story line. Perhaps not as much humour in this story as in the previous books.

Loved it
What made the experience of listening to The Hanging Tree the most enjoyable?
It's like visiting old friends. You know what you'll get but you're still delighted to be there.
What other book might you compare The Hanging Tree to, and why?
The rest of the series. I haven't found anything else with the same tone in books. If you turn to television, Warehouse 13 is similar; not in scenario but just in the character interaction and general tone.
Have you listened to any of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This is just what I expected. I looked for other titles narrated by him, but none of them was my kind of book.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I enjoyed it with a big grin.
Any additional comments?
I've read various comments about Peter's lack of response, lack of male friends etc but I don't agree. He's probably got friends, but we always meet him in the middle of cases. As for reaction; I think he does, just in his own way.

Disappointed with the end of the tape.
The interview at the end reading, sadly stole the end of the book/story from my thoughts. Life jumped from a contemplative Peter to a sudden sharp interviewers loud voice. 😞😯😟☹
