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?

Great
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.

Talking Foxes
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.

Abigail is not Katy !
Confusing Abigail with “ What Katy did” books would be a huge mistake. Abigail is a junior member of the folly. Still young enough to make rash decisions and mistakes, but talented and gifted enough to take on adventures on her own. I enjoyed Shvorne Marks performance and the added ‘ explanations’ a joy. I would recommend this audio book to anyone longing for the Rivers of London universe. It is a worthy addition.

Love the narrative but story was hard to catch
I love the Rivers of London series so thought to try this book. Great concept and narrative but I felt there was some gaps in explaining the house aspect. Audible and Belinda recording have done a wonderful job again.

horrible
Huge fan of series but Abigail is the worse developed character I nearly have ever encountered. She is Not a 13 year old girl as she is suppose to be and the fact he even brings the mention of sex is just wrong. I get the author is trying to tap into HP marketplace but it's the whole reason why previous books were so enjoyable. They are for adults not tweens. Hope he fixes his mistakes in coming books.

Kid's story barely holds the line
There are moments in this novella, but very few. Quite frankly, it is a children's novel. The plot has plenty of Ben's great imagination behind it. However, the read is hard work, as the key characters are all presented as Disney-esque kids animation voices, and as such, get annoying very quickly. Particularly the foxes, who KHS originally presented as streetwise Londoners, but here Shvorne pitches them straight out of 'Frozen'. KBH's short and really unnecessary inserts are hard to decipher (strangely distorting the Professor's original voice) and plot-wise, pointless. Here's to the next serious Peter Grant story with exploding heads and no annoying kids...please!
