Book 6 in the Rivers of London series, from Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch.

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...

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.

Kobna is outstanding

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!
