![]() ![]() If you happen to see it listed as Rivers of London, that’s how it was originally published in England. If you love to watch Supernatural or enjoy any sort of magical realism, this is the first installment in an established series of books. I learned a bit of modern British slang (some of which I had to look up) and some ancient history about the geography of the River Thames. ![]() I love Peter to pieces, with his modern take on life, an old-fashioned wish to serve, and perhaps even a mild case of ADD. Midnight Riot takes you on a fantastic wild ride through London’s neighborhoods and immediate countryside, with Peter Grant as your point of view both to familiar London and to unfamiliar magic. Grant then learns about an entire other kind of investigating as he becomes the apprentice to DCI Thomas Nightingale, who investigates uncanny and potentially magical crimes. The big problem occurs when Peter realizes that said witness is a ghost. His plans seem to be thwarted at every turn, and he is sure he will be marking time in a records unit when he gets his first big break: an eyewitness to a murder. Peter Grant’s only goal in life is to be promoted from probationary constable to detective in London’s Metropolitan Police. This fast paced police procedural, set in modern London, comes with a twist. ![]()
