Publisher's Summary
In the fifth of his best-selling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London - to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London you can't take the London out of the copper.
Travelling west with Beverley Brook, Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what's more all the shops are closed by 4pm....

The best yet!
This story was fantastic! Clever, much funnier, and easier to follow than some of the earlier in this series. Absolutely loved it.

I'm addicted to this narrator
I tried reading one in the series as a hard copy from the library but I missed Kobna's superlative narration and will not make that mistake again.

A great listen
Some series get repetitive and same same as the books go on, but not this one. A fresh story with new characters and a bit more background development on some of the ones we know. Looking forward to listening to the next one!

Brilliant
Perfect narrator for this fantastic series. I don’t even think I could read this series because I’d miss the narration. The story is entertaining and keeps you engaged until the very end.

Kobna has an uncanny ability to bring life, love, mystery, and thrills to an already amazing story.
I love the rivers of london, it’s one of the most engaging and understated British novel series that has reinvigorated my love of books.

Fabulous narration brings the book to life
After listening to Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's fabulous narration on this book, I somehow was compelled to buy the first four audiobooks in the series and listen to them, even though I had bought, read and really enjoyed them in paperback. The audiobook versions are just so much better. I listened to Foxglove Summer twice. Highly recommended. Holdbrook-Smith is one of the best narrators I have come across.

Not so sure about this one
Love the concept of this series however this one was a bit lame. Great reading of it as usual - just felt this story line was lacking. Maybe I was distracted whilst listening so interested to see other reviews.
