I’m a fan of Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series, and while good, this story lacks their charm; the characters just aren’t as engaging. The voice actor of the London-based series, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is excellent. Unfortunately, I found Penelope Rawlins’ performance rather annoying. Her Bill Boyd sounded perpetually stuffed up and definitely female. She had odd mispronunciations scattered throughout, adding an r to parka so it came out parker. A fish fillet was with a pronounced final t. She constantly pulled me out of the story. It’s worth reading, but if it’s an option get the print version and skip this audiobook.

I was worried this would lack the charm of Rivers of London, but it was similarly excellent. The voices are spot on, the characters engaging and endearing, and the plot tight.

Maudlin, amateurish, and predictable story made worse by a highly annoying voice actor.
And why does the daughter have a French accent; she sounds like she stepped from the cast of ‘Allo, Allo.
