The Furthest Station by Ben Aaronovitch
Evidently Aaronovitch is superb at creating a story of any length in which Peter Grant uses magic, science, police procedure and architectural know how to crack the case. I've enjoyed all the extant novels and the short story collection in the Rivers of London series, and can now vouch for this novella length entry as well. On to the next!
Regarding this particular novella: Always here for cheeky new river gods, commiseration about the dreary realities of morning commutes, and any ghosts that like to chat, for case solving purposes or just a little local colour. Some perennial favourites showing up: Abigail, Nightingale, Beverley, Post-Martin, as well as a cameo from a character I was glad to see pop up again.
Audiobook means highlighting quotes is a bit more challenging, but I was particularly struck (and had free hands) at the moment this one came to my ears:
"Only Molly can make breakfast in bed a sinister experience, but over the years I've managed to repress my instinct to leap up screaming." 😆
