About this listen
There's something going bump on the Metropolitan line, and Sergeant Jaget Kumar knows exactly whom to call.
It's PC Peter Grant's specialty....
Only it's more than going 'bump'. Traumatised travellers have been reporting strange encounters on their morning commute, with strangely dressed people trying to deliver an urgent message. Stranger still, despite calling the police themselves, within a few minutes the commuters have already forgotten the encounter - making the follow-up interviews rather difficult.
So with a little help from Abigail and Toby the ghost hunting dog, Peter and Jaget are heading out on a ghost hunting expedition.
Because finding the ghosts and deciphering their urgent message might just be a matter of life and death.
Read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.

"Aaronovitch deftly balances urban fantasy with the police procedural. As for Grant, he's a wonderful blend of laconic copper and, methodically researching how magic works, full-on nerd." ( Crime Scene)
"This series is brilliant!" ( Teen Librarian)

The London Rivers and Peter Grant just keep getting better and better
The Furthest Station is by far the best in the PC Grant London Rivers Series. But why did it have to be so short?

A decent read but missing the depth of the novels
It is very hard to maintain freshness and excellence in a series such are this, and this novella was missing something... "spring", a central context (rivers, jazz, architecture).
I have been captured by the characters, and the gaps in Nightingale's back story, but I want a return to the energy of the first few books in the series.

Grab for cash
This was a great story beautifully read. BUT I feel charging the same value, one point, for a novella as a novel is just taking the piss. Disrespectful to the loyal fans.

Loved it!
I loved this novella. It has everything I like about the Peter Grant stories, minus the angst (which I'm not so fond of). As ever, the narrator is pitch perfect.

Short but sweet
Much too short! I wish it was a novel not a novella. Loved it though.

A great story wonderfully narrated
The Rivers of London books are a fantastic series. Being an ex Londoner living on the other side of the world I have become a little homesick listening to the descriptions of my city of birth. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith brings the characters to life in a way few other narrators achieve. The Furthest Station is well written and sits equally amongst its sister stories.

Loved it
Great combination of author and narrator to present a great book in the series. Has all you come to expect from this series solid storyline combined with believable creative and immersive world in modern day London. Loved it, can’t recommend it and the series enough, on about my third round of listening.

Good but short
Kobna Holbrook-Smith is a brilliant narrator. This book is only 3h long though - it was wrapping up before I realised.

just keep getting better
note that this is a shorter one and I was expecting some explanation for the ending of the last book but it didn't come.
