Amongst Our Weapons

Rivers of London, Book 9

De: Ben Aaronovitch

Narrado por: Kobna Holdbrook-Smith

The ninth novel of the bestselling Rivers of London urban fantasy series returns to the adventures of Peter Grant, detective and apprentice wizard, as he solves magical crimes in the city of London.

There is a world hidden underneath this great city.

The London Silver Vaults—for well over a century, the largest collection of silver for sale in the world. It has more locks than the Bank of England and more cameras than a paparazzi convention.

Not somewhere you can murder someone and vanish without a trace—only that’s what happened.

The disappearing act, the reports of a blinding flash of light, and memory loss amongst the witnesses all make this a case for Detective Constable Peter Grant and the Special Assessment Unit.

Alongside their boss DCI Thomas Nightingale, the SAU find themselves embroiled in a mystery that encompasses London’s tangled history, foreign lands and, most terrifying of all, the North!

And Peter must solve this case soon, because back home his partner Beverley is expecting twins any day now. But what he doesn’t know is that he’s about to encounter something—and somebody—that nobody ever expects…

Effortlessly original, endlessly inventive and hugely entertaining—step into the world of the much-loved, bestselling Rivers of London series.

Absolutely brilliant

A fantastic addition the series. I love Ben Aaronovitch’s seamlessly including call backs to prior works without getting bogged down. The whole fam is back this time and it was so well done. Peter (and us readers) have a wild ride ahead! Kobna Holdbrook-Smith continues to be a top notch narrator. Thank you both!

Another great book in the Peter Grant series

Ben Aaronovitch’s novel and Kobna Holbrook-Smith’s narration bring Peter Grant police drama/supernatural thriller to life. They are both reaching their strides.

Good plot, amazing reader.

I really wish I could find more books with Kobna Holdbrook Smith reading! A very much not stand alone story in the series, absolutely read the earlier titles as the author doesn't waste time rehashing.

Fantastic writing and narrating

One of the best series for audiobook, bar none. Six more words? I think not

Another Great addition to this fantastic story.

Loved everything about this book. Tempo of the story was great! I can’t wait for the next! Thanks Ben!

Completely engaging

Excellent narration and characters. Love the story and eagerly await the next steps. Thank you eternally.Ben and Kobna

Great storyline and world

If you are looking at this review your already sold on this series. It doesn’t disappoint. Love the world- hate to see the book end.

Another fantastic story

This whole series is so funny and interesting in how Peter relates to the reader different things throughout each story. I also enjoy how magic is part of everyday life, but not in a general public sense, but on underlying part of life that if you were to stop and take a hard look around you, you might just notice something that’s more than just “weird bollocks”!

Not as action-packed but when they came - whew!

Also some very lovely family moments including an alarming final scene. Please say it ain’t so.

My favorite series

Have enjoyed every one of the series and eagerly looking forward to more so long as Mr Aaronovitch is pleased to provide them.
