About this listen

The new Rivers of London novella, from Sunday Times number one best-selling author Ben Aaronovitch.

Ghost hunter, fox whisperer, troublemaker.

It is the summer of 2013, and Abigail Kamara has been left to her own devices. This might, by those who know her, be considered a mistake. While her cousin, police constable and apprentice wizard Peter Grant, is off in the sticks, chasing unicorns, Abigail is chasing her own mystery. Teenagers around Hampstead Heath have been going missing but before the police can get fully engaged, the teens return home - unharmed but vague about where they've been.

Aided only by her new friend Simon, her knowledge that magic is real, and a posse of talking foxes that think they're spies, Abigail must venture into the wilds of Hampstead to discover who is luring the teenagers and more importantly - why?

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.

Fun story’s!

Great to catch up with Abigail and learn what the deal was with the talking foxes... I always enjoy the Rivers of London novellas and this was no exception. Probably not recommended for someone who hasn't read at least one of the main series, though, because too little is explained. That's fine, because why would Abigail explain what she knows perfectly well? Great fun, as ever.

Cute and quirky sideline story that allows a glimpse into what makes one of the side kicks so cool! I liked it a lot x

Neat sideline

Overall good fun. Absolutely loved the foxes. A gentler tale that could be more suitable for younger audiences than the Peter Grant books. Great narrator. Picking up some killer slang from Abigail too.

Great

Didn't think I would like this story but I did. I did wish Koban was reading Abigails story he suites rivers of London so well.

different narrator
