About this listen

Peter Grant - cop, magical apprentice, and Londoner to the core - is being forced out of his comfort zone and into the English countryside. His latest case involves the disappearance of children in the small village of Herefordshire, and the local police are unwilling to admit there might be a supernatural element involved. Now Peter must deal with them, local river spirits, and the fact that all the shops close by 4 P.M.

The plot thickens

Peter Grant gets out of the city and spends time in the country. His apprenticeship is coming along nicely as his boss stays behind. Lots of loose ends so I am sure we will see Peter and Beverly again. He wouldn't be the same character without Kobna Holbrook Smith reading. What an amazing job he does. I could listen to him read anything all day long.

Maybe the best of the Rivers of London Series.

Would you listen to Foxglove Summer again? Why?
Yes, I'd listen again. Instead of London, the setting was the English countryside so that was interesting.

Who was your favorite character and why?
It was good to see Beverly Brook again. I'm glad she and Peter finally hooked up.

What does Kobna Holdbrook-Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I love how he does the different voices. I especially like Inspector Nightingale and Beverly Brook.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Supernatural crime in the English countryside.

Any additional comments?
Get to writing Ben! Can't wait for the next installment.

Wonderful <br />

Any paranormal fantasy with multiple shout-outs to 'Aliens' is an automatic winner. That, and it is very nicely written and the performance is first rate.

Another hilarious adventure!

I love this series. Hands-down. The writing is a great the characters are brilliant. The plot is a little bit weak in this one and I hope it's going somewhere good. Sadly this one made me really want to read the next one. Overall not bad but I'm not the most patient person in the world.

Toned Down

Compared to the previous Peter Grant stories, this one doesn't have a lot of action. Still enjoyable though. Looking forward to the next installment.
