Publisher's Summary
Doctor Who Screenwriter Ben Aaronovitch's superbly entertaining supernatural crime series has, with its witty one-liners and wonderfully erudite take on London, won a legion of fans in double quick time.
Peter Grant is learning magic fast. And it's just as well - he's already had run-ins with the deadly supernatural children of the Thames and a terrifying killer in Soho. Progression in the Police Force is less easy. Especially when you work in a department of two. A department that doesn't even officially exist. A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at. And then there's his love life. The last person he fell for ended up seriously dead. It wasn't his fault, but still.
Now something horrible is happening in the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the tube system that honeycombs the ancient foundations of London. And delays on the Northern line is the very least of it. Time to call in the Met's Economic and Specialist Crime Unit 9, aka 'The Folly'. Time to call in PC Peter Grant, Britain's Last Wizard.
Read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
Editorial reviews
Whispers Under Ground, book 3 in the best-selling PC Peter Grant series by Ben Aaronovitch and narrated by English actor Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, is a laugh-out-loud modern mystery crime detective audiobook, complete and unabridged. London is not as it seems - with evil gods and goddesses of the Thames, dark magic lurking in the tube system and monsters hiding in the shadows, it is up to wizard and PC Peter Grant to maintain order. PC Grant must use his cunning detective skills to track down a killer in Soho. But it’s a dangerous task when there’s no one to call for backup. Available now from Audible.

Great series. I can’t put them down
Love the story and I’m so engrossed in the world. And the narrator is absolutely fantastic. His voice is so good to listen to and his accents are on point.

Loved this book
I ❤️ the Peter Grant series. The characters are continuing to develop with each book. Lots of twists and turns and love how cometley plausible it all sounds!
Kobna's voice is amazing - it's like listening to an old friend.

Gripping and fun
I came upon this series by accident and am now hooked. Ben Aaronovitch has an astonishing imagination and a wonderfully entertaining way with words. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith simply couldn’t be bettered as the narrator, perfect tone and his voice characterisations are spot on. Perfect!

Top 5 Narrators
Great urban fiction series and incredibly well executed. This 3rd instalment allows for the established characters to develop further and introduces some new blood. The accents are superb. I forget I'm listening to only one (very talented) human.

Can't get enough
I love this series. Ben Aaronovitch's wit has me laughing out loud and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is the perfect performer. Having to slow down so I don't complete the other books to quickly but at least I have the joy of re-listening to look forward to.

London and its underground come to life
Another brilliant instalment of the Rivers of London series. Yet again Ben Aaronovitch's sense of humour shines through especially when portrayed by audiobook narrator Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
One thing I really enjoy about this series is the way that Aaronovitch bring London to life, not just through its people but by actually making the geography and architecture (even the subterranean) an essential character in the narrative.
