Acerca de esta escucha
The brand new novella in the Sunday Times #1 bestselling Rivers of London series.
****
THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY ACROSS THE POND...
When ex-FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does.
That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Arriving snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town - and there's no sign of Henderson.
Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbours report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising - cutting off the town, with no way in or out...
As the clues lead to the coldest of cold cases - a cursed expedition into the frozen wilderness - Reynolds follows a trail from the start of the American nightmare, to the horror that still lives on today...

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
Conrad Clarke, former RAF pilot and alleged gangster, gets a text – and a visit – from The Allfather. Odin has a challenge for Conrad: Sign up to protect England from wild magick and get a commission in the King’s Watch. All he has to do is find a missing witch. Simple. Conrad never could resist a challenge. Before you can say “Ragnarok”, he’s plunged into a world of gods, mages, witches, dwarves, and one very aggressive giant mole.

Historia
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.

Historia
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.

Historia
Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

When a client tells Sam Applewhite she’s seen ghosts in the nearby graveyard, Sam dismisses it as the ramblings of an old woman. She’s got bigger things to worry about. Keeping on top of her job at DefCon4 Security Services isn’t easy - particularly since her manager is a cactus, and no one will tell her what her job actually is. But when the ghost-spotting client goes missing, and only Sam suspects foul play, she is compelled to dig deeper.

Historia
A delightfully funny, fantastically inventive collection of twenty unearthed short stories by Sir Terry Pratchett, the award-winning and bestselling author and creator of the phenomenally successful Discworld fantasy series. These rediscovered tales were written by Terry Pratchett under a pseudonym for British newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. The stories have never been attributed to him until now, and might never have been found—were it not for the efforts of a few dedicated fans.

A mini ROL story
I expected the voices to sound like the ROL characters. But You soon get used to Penelope Rawlins’ voice.
The storyline is compelling, but reminded me of one of the Harry Dresden books.
All in all an entertaining listen.

Loved it…
I really enjoyed this audio novella, even if it’s a bit divorced from the Rivers of London setting. The characters are likeable and engaging, the story moved along at a decent pace and I liked the glimpse into small town America. More Kimberly adventures please!

Thoroughly enjoyed this novella
I enjoyed both the story and the narrator. It was definitely a different listening experience than the previous Rivers of London audio books, but I found the story completely gripping and think that Penelope Rawlins did a great job portraying the various characters.

Great continuation of the ROL series!
Thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook - also thank you for not making Holbrook Smith not read in an American accent - and for the record, this narrator’s British accent is equally as rough as his American accent! Introducing new narrators helps to move the stories into different realms. Keep going, I look forward to the next one!

Does not belong in Peter Grant series
This was a very slow starter and a huge disappointment. Kimberley, the main character, is an American agent who has no personal magic, can only use a gun against monsters and threats is totally lacking in humour.
If Ben wants to write a series specifically to appeal to US readers with religion, guns and the FBI, that's fine but it is so far removed from what we expect in the Peter Grant series it should be kept quite separate.
I also found the narrator flat and boring.

Awful sound quality, inept narrator
Such a disappointment. I just can’t believe I have been anticipating … this! Sounds worse than 32kbps mp3, yet it’s AAC at 128kbps; something got stuffed up in the production, I bet. Narration is unengaging at best and painful to hear at worst, depending on which character she’s reading. I just can’t enjoy listening to the story and will probably have to return the audiobook.
