Foxglove Summer

Rivers of London, Book 5

In the fifth of his best-selling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London - to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London you can't take the London out of the copper.

Travelling west with Beverley Brook, Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what's more all the shops are closed by 4pm....

exceptional

I love the detail in the characters and the pace of the narrative. this series is exceptional

Best one yet

I found this the easiest to follow having read the series somewhat addicted to the bizarre characters.
the narration really makes it listenable and I enjoy the twists and turns of this cranky police department
still 4 more in series to go !

I'm happy.

A good story but sadly I begin to see the end of this great series of books.
Hopefully the author will write more.

Best one yet!

I love how the characters and story are developing over each book. I’m completely hooked on Peter and Beverley and Nightingale and Lesley and all the rest ❤️

Sarcasm and duty

This book has been a true joy to read. I laughed every couple of pages. Satire, police regulations, fantasy characters and a down to earth, detective chores. The protagonist is funny, ever so slightly haunted by fate and lust.
