About this listen

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.

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!

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

Enticing literary description and use of metaphors

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!!

As always - fantastic!
