Hilarious good time
Who doesn't love a magical jazz and drag romp in 1920s New York? This was very entertaining, and had some great laugh out loud moments .

Undeniably engaging characters
The only disappointment was that it didn’t go longer! The characters grabbed me from the start, and even though there were some familiar characters missing, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the new ones.

Absolutely Brilliant
Ben does it again. A brilliantly researched story with some fantastic lines by Nightingale. Very nicely done.

I wish it was longer.
I loved Ben’s return to original characters, with a fresh new novella. The starring role of Nightingale gives us a peep at his life before the ‘Rivers’ series, new characters enliven the plot set in the jazz dens of 1920’s Harlem.
Now I want to know more.

Delightful
The characters in this book were delightful and the story was engrossing. The author Ben Aaronovitch and the reader Kobna Holdbrook-Smith are an outstanding team.

Another 5 star book!
I could listen to Kobna Holdbrook-Smith read the phone book and be delighted. I wish he'd do some sleep stories on Audible! But this is a lovely little addition to the River of London series. I'd absolutely love a full novel with just these characters, they were engaging and fun. Love the writing as always. I only wish it had been longer. Bravo.

Ben Aaronovitch tackles PG Wodehouse and more
Another delight in the Rivers series. A young Nightingale visits the magical NewYork Jazz Age of the Harlem Renaissance. Told by a richly reimagined Bertie Wooster (with the bits that PG had to leave out) and so many other literary and cultural references, I kept smiling with joy all the way through. Kobna Holbrook-Smith did a great job with the accents and voices, as always. I wouldn’t start with the series here but it’s a great one for the fans.
