Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch
adventurous
mysterious
medium-paced
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
4.5
Peter Grant finds himself in rural Herefordshire. This is border country with a long, complex history. Perhaps then, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that there's plenty of magic about. And strange birds, beasts, and country folk. PC Grant takes a while to find his feet but it's not too long before the case justifies his presence.
Herefordshire is a place I love and this helps to make Foxglove Summer my favourite Rivers of London novel so far. It's been quite some time since I last visited this universe. Rereading this book has whetted my appetite to continue in both directions - revisiting old friends and hopefully making new ones.
Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is a great narrator, clearly designating different characters and having just the right conversational tone for Peter's frequent asides.
