Walid called me to the morgue to listen to a corpse, I recognised the tune it was playing. I was my dad’s vinyl-wallah: I changed his records while he lounged around drinking tea, and that’s how I know my Argo from my Tempo. Set in: Before 2012 Summer Olympics Book 2 – Moon Over Soho Published: In London Edition of Rivers of London and Official Website Then one night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was dead but disturbingly voluble, and that brought me to the attention of Inspector Nightingale, the last wizard in England. My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit – we do paperwork so real coppers don’t have to – and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May. My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (and as the Filth to everybody else). Watch this space! Book 1 – Rivers of London This page will be updated as my reviews of each book are published and as Ben Aaronovitch publishes more work. I have also made a brief bio for some of the main re-occurring characters, this is not conclusive and should not give away any major spoilers for the series. See below for information on each novel, graphic novel, comic and audiobook as well as information regarding who Ben Aaronovitch has worked on. Ben has also worked with a talented team to produce comics, graphic novels, and audiobooks which support the main storyline by expanding out the worldview of the Rivers of London series, fleshing out the characters, introducing new characters and providing explanations for character traits and back history.īen Aaronovitch is a British screenwriter and novelist. One of the things which makes this such a great series is the fact that the story is not limited to the main novels of the series. It basically has all the bases covered, and if you listen to the unabridged audiobooks then you also get the brilliantly vast and extensive talents of Kobna Holbrook-Smith as he seamlessly rattles off the many and varied accents which Ben Aaronovitch has given his characters. This is a great series for anyone who enjoys a good mystery, comic timing, magic, fantasy, sci-fi, police procedural novels, London and it’s history and architecture. He becomes an apprentice to the magic practitioner, Nightingale, after being caught up in a magical case. The Rivers of London is a series of books based on the life and career of one Peter Grant, a police constable who is thrown into the world of Newtonian magic.
