Set in the Cotswolds, this is the next instalment in the adventures of Inspector Hobbes, Mrs Goodfellow, and Dregs, as narrated by the still disaster-prone Andy Caplet. It is a rip roaring, funny, and moving tale of Andy's infatuation with a dangerously beautiful woman, starting off during investigations into sheep deaths and the mysterious disappearance of pheasants. These incidents appear to be connected to a rash of big cat sightings, and something horrible seems to be lurking in the woods. Is Andy cursed to be always unsuccessful in love, or is the curse something much darker, something that will arouse his primeval terrors?

A Friendly Warning
- By NexAngelus405 on 03-22-18
Publisher's Summary
A stunning PC Peter Grant novella continues this best-selling series with commuting ghosts, a kidnapping, and a superb new London mystery!
PC Peter Grant is heading west.
The Furthest Station is Ben Aaronovitch's first PC Grant novella...and there's something going bump on the Metropolitan line. And when commuters start reporting encounters with ghosts up and down the track - encounters which they forget entirely within minutes - Peter Grant gets a call to investigate. And the very first interview leads to a ghost-hunting expedition....
The first ever Peter Grant novella, this is a fantastic London-based mystery.
Critic Reviews
"Aaronovitch deftly balances urban fantasy with the police procedural. As for Grant, he's a wonderful blend of laconic copper and, methodically researching how magic works, full-on nerd." ( Crime Scene)
"This series is brilliant!" ( Teen Librarian)

Delightful writing and narration
This author and narrator team make the Peter Grant series my favorite audio book series. The writing is imaginative - with twisty plots and characters with depth and layers.
The narration is fabulous, with interesting change-ups in pacing, fantastic and recognizable voices.
Ben Aaronovitch and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith do outstanding work. I always look forward to the next book and find listening to this series delightful.

Don't miss The Furthest Station
What do I love about this audiobook series? The vivid London landscape, the digressions about architecture, the musicality, the diverse backgrounds of all the characters (not one character is a cardboard stand in -- even if we're not told their whole story), the details of a police procedural, Peter's efforts to apply science to magic, the dashing Nightingale, the rich context of history, class, and region... and I could go on. There could not be a better narrator for this series than Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. If you haven't read the series, start at the beginning and don't skip this installment-- even if it's a novella, it's a wonderful listen. I can't wait for the next full length novel. Thank you, Mr. Aaronovich, now back to work!

Very well done all around.
Loved it as usual but as good as it is, I know it's a short but I miss a chat with Peter's Parents all though it was nice to have more of Abigail. I'd love to see another series with just Abigail and I don't particularly like children in books but I'd make an exception for her.
The audio was really well done as usual.

Worth a listen for fans of this series.
Any additional comments?
Fun series. Perfect narrator. I typically become bored with lengthy series. This one is no exception. But so far, all have been fun enough to continue. I'll plan on listening to the next one assuming the narrator hasn't changed. I think if Ben were to change narrators I might move on though. Story is entertaining, but no longer has the vibrancy of the earlier books in this series... The mystery is interesting, but I'm not on the edge of my seat..

Great Addition to a Great series
Would you consider the audio edition of The Furthest Station to be better than the print version?
I have not read the print version.
Who was the most memorable character of The Furthest Station and why?
Peter Grant is of course the most memorable character, but his cousin Abigail is a really great character.
Any additional comments?
This is another great addition to the Rivers of London series, but it would be hard to understand the characters if I had not already listened to the other books.

Who doesn't enjoy trains and River God's?
Another enjoyable and enchanting (enchanted?) Peter Grant tale. The style of the writer continues to engage you with the characters and the sometimes gritty side of London through the perspective and procedures of PC Grant. Kabna Holdbrook-Smith's narrative provides great distinction between the characters, enabling the reader to build an image and invest their attention into the characters, enhancing the immersion into the story. The only complaint I have is the story was too short. I want more Peter Grant adventures!

Other than short length this is perfect
This is a British police procedural centered on the very tiny division of the London (and environs) Police Department dealing with cases involving "weird sh*t". The wit in the dialog and descriptions is very smart, but not dystopian. The world is contemporary and diverse. The tone is less earnest than Terry Prachett's Diskworld, but not as deliberately parched as early Johannes Cabal stories. This series has markedly fewer horror elements than some others in the very good series. The narrator remains outstanding.

not long enough
not long enough by far, it only just got going when it came to an end.

Not of the normal standard
This is a very short book in relation to the other books also it is more like a "stand alone" accompanying novel not adding much to the ongoing theme.

Ok but
The short stories / novellas are not a patch on the books. It is all rather lightweight and thin

Much better but
Left wondering why this story wasn't incorporated into a full length novel. Good story more akin to the early books, with touches of Neverwhere. But some unresolved plot holes and the asides to American listeners /readers niggled. Teen character may please younger audience but overall not sure this was worth a credit.

Slightly disappointed
I love the peter grant mysteries. This one is very short. Doesn't really get off the ground. Lacks a lot of the usual humour and heart of the earlier books. The basic plot has substance and could of gone a lot further. Seemed slightly rushed.

rather disappointing to be honest.
compared to the previous six books in the series,I felt robbed of a decent storyline,I was so looking forward to this book,but alas it was very short,and it seems the author was stuck for a decent worthwhile story. sadly disappointed.

Below par
Sadly short and although narration was up to the normal excellence the story was perhaps not on form. Not the best considering I have been waiting since April. Very disappointing, I’m almost ashamed to say.

Great story, superb narration
Ben Aaronovitch and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith are my dream team audio book pairing. Engaging stories full of the believable and unbelievable, narrated with clarity, precision, humour and an uncanny ability to move between character voices.

Not the best Peter Grant book by a long shot
If you only read this Peter Grant book you probably won’t read any more. Definitely not up to the usual standard in characters or story. Should be seen as a side story and not a novel but as a fan I wasn’t impressed at all. Here’s hoping the next one has more thought put into it

Absolutely amazing
There was literally not a moment that I was not enthralled, the story had a perfect place, revisited existing characters without excessive repetition of their history as other series often do. The slice of life along with story progression of Abigail was incredibly satisfying. Kobna's superb performing capabilities continue to lend this series all of the nuances it deserves.

A decent read but missing the depth of the novels
It is very hard to maintain freshness and excellence in a series such are this, and this novella was missing something... "spring", a central context (rivers, jazz, architecture).
I have been captured by the characters, and the gaps in Nightingale's back story, but I want a return to the energy of the first few books in the series.

expecting more
love the first 6 books, but this didn't go far enough or have a great amount of detail. it seemed to just end...
Excellent narration by Kobana as usual. my opinion is he has one of the best voices for narration out there..

What IS wrong with Arcade Fire??
This series just keeps getting better and better. I absolutely love the cross references to past aspects of the story line and inclusion of pop culture and I can't help by listen to these stories with Google maps open too and follow as best I can the characters to the various parts of London and UK towns and villages. I'd love to sit down with PC Grant one day and have a beer with him, he seems like the kind of guy who'd fit my circle of mates.

Loved it!
I loved this novella. It has everything I like about the Peter Grant stories, minus the angst (which I'm not so fond of). As ever, the narrator is pitch perfect.

Much too short! I wish it was a novel not a novella. Loved it though.

Good but short
Kobna Holbrook-Smith is a brilliant narrator. This book is only 3h long though - it was wrapping up before I realised.

Another excellent read.
I've enjoyed every book in this series, particularly the excellent narration of Kobna Holbrook-Smith. But I'm very disappointed that this time my pre-ordered book has turned out to be just a novella.

The London Rivers and Peter Grant just keep getting better and better
The Furthest Station is by far the best in the PC Grant London Rivers Series. But why did it have to be so short?
