Publisher's summary

There have been ghosts on the London Underground, sad, harmless specters whose presence does little more than give a frisson to traveling and boost tourism. But now there's a rash of sightings on the Metropolitan Line and these ghosts are frightening, aggressive, and seem to be looking for something.

Enter PC Peter Grant, junior member of the Metropolitan Police's Special Assessment Unit, AKA The Folly, AKA the only police officers whose official duties include ghost hunting. Together with Jaget Kumar, his counterpart at the British Transport Police, he must brave the terrifying crush of London's rush hour to find the source of the ghosts.

Joined by Peter's wannabe wizard cousin, a preschool river god, and Toby the ghost hunting dog, their investigation takes a darker tone as they realize that a real person's life might just be on the line.

And time is running out to save them.

A fun low stakes mystery

Loved it! No major Peter Grant jeopardy but a good ghost story and a little Abigail. I love seeing her in the stories.

Excellent supernatural police procedural

One of the wittiest and most interesting crime series, but probably best to start at the beginning with Rivers of London aka Midnight Riot. Only criticism is that it is a bit short.

Good. Less violent than others in the series.

I enjoyed the story and did not miss the Gore that is in a lot of the books in the series.

Enchanting

Novellas and short stories take talent. The plot is delightful! Even the colors are vivid! And, create a continuity of drabness and opaqueness to the 'world of ghosts' . Well done - I love this series, especially the narration.

Best audio book narrator ever

I have loved every single one of these Rivers of London audio books. The stories are so engrossing and iI love how they’ve taken me to another world. However, the absolutely BEST thing about these books is the narrator, Kobna Holdbrooke-Smith. HE IS Peter Grant to me, as well as all the other characters’ voices.

Mystery fantasy River Gods and Coppers

Another fascinating book in a series narrated by the best voice in audible books. It’s partly our main character who is dryly witty, charming and sleuthes his way through a ghosts assisted mystery.
