Story
Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?

A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Story
Rotherweird is a twisted, arcane murder-mystery with shades of Deborah Harkness, Hope Mirrlees and Ben Aaronovitch, Mervyn Peake and Edward Gorey at their disturbing best. The town of Rotherweird stands alone - there are no guidebooks, despite the fascinating and diverse architectural styles cramming the narrow streets, the avant-garde science and offbeat customs. Cast adrift from the rest of England by Elizabeth I, Rotherweird's independence is subject to one disturbing condition: nobody, but nobody, studies the town or its history.

Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.

Characters drive the story. The Narrator rocks!

Publisher's summary
Ben Aaronovitch has stormed the bestseller list with his superb London crime series. A unique blend of police procedural, loving detail about the greatest character of all, London, and a dash of the supernatural.
A mutilated body in Crawley. Another killer on the loose. The prime suspect is one Robert Weil; an associate of the twisted magician known as the Faceless Man? Or just a common or garden serial killer? Before PC Peter Grant can get his head round the case a town planner going under a tube train and a stolen grimoire are adding to his case-load. So far so London. But then Peter gets word of something very odd happening in Elephant and Castle, on an housing estate designed by a nutter, built by charlatans and inhabited by the truly desperate. Is there a connection? And if there is, why oh why did it have to be South of the River?
Full of warmth, sly humour and a rich cornucopia of things you never knew about London, Aaronovitch's series has swiftly added Grant's magical London to Rebus' Edinburgh and Morse's Oxford as a destination of choice for those who love their crime with something a little extra.

Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

Next book in a wonderful series great narration
Always a pleasure to come across another in the "Folly" series by Ben Aaronovitch. This one combines all the hallmarks of the others starting with Kobna Holdbrook-Smiths superb vocal range bringing each of the many characters to life magic, a superbly street wise Peter Grant and an author that knows London inside out. The character of the Nightingale is an invention of pure brilliance and the description of the battle between him and the Russian practitioner is excellent. The twist right at the end catches one unawares. If there was a criticism it might be that the cast is getting very large and occasionally confusing, not everyone in the previous books needs to make an appearance in the current volume. I downloaded the book and in 2 days had finished listening as I found it so entertaining. Hope to see more of the Nightingale's back - story in the next work.

there is a sting at the end
What made the experience of listening to Broken Homes the most enjoyable?
the 4th book in the peter grant series ventures south of the river, with our heroes having to face (or faceless) not 1 but 2 enemies.
The story has some nasty suprises waiting and aaronovich manages to keep a lot hidden by leaving some very obvious things out in the open, only at the end you see how the obvious and the hidden combine
clever
as always the style and accents of holdbrook smith adds greatly to the story and even takes in the difference in lesley's voice as she had another operation
The bits of info on london reveal (once again) how much knowlegde and research aaronovich has.
Fun to read even if you will end up cursing at the end
so mr aaronovich go away and write another one
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
yes, there is a very obvious bit of the plot that makes you think "peter you blind one, connect the dots" only to find out that there is a lot more
Have you listened to any of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
the rest of the series, he has a good voice, giving life to a copper of african desent, a classic english gentleman, a seaside girl and many more
brilliant
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
this time its personal

This series is fantastic - a great combination of engaging, clever stories matched with the perfect narrator. Kobna is the best narrator I’ve come across yet and I’m currently working my way through the series for a second time.

Saved by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith!
I really loved the first three books in the Rivers of London series. Compared to those books, this fourth one was a bit of a disappointment. There were so many names and seemingly unconnected (and unnecessary) storylines that it was very hard to keep track of what was happening and how everything tied in to the main plot (it was at moments even hard to figure out which of the storylines *was* the main plot).
At several moments I almost gave up, but I’m glad that I didn’t. The ending made me want to dive into the fifth book immediately.
While I didn’t really feel for the story, I once again absolutely *loved* Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s performance. He is so good at this, I would even listen to him narrate the operating manual of my car.

Another great one!
Enjoyed every second of the book. Every time I thought it couldn't get more interesting and engaging it just did exactly that.

worth listening and relistening to. The narrator brings the story to life in an extraordinary manner.

Kobna ruins me for all other narrators
Any additional comments?
Love this series, even if this novel felt more like a breather episode than super-relevant to the overall plot. Kobna nails the voices as per usual.
