Raves for the Rivers of London novels:

“This fast, engrossing novel is enjoyable, cheerful, and accessible to new readers.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Ben Aaronovitch has written a book that never left me disappointed in the choices he made as author, nor in the choices of his characters.”

—Fantasy Book Review

“Told in a narrative voice that seasons laconic humor with a dash of cynicism, the novel is fascinated with the geography and history of London. It is a rich formula with a bittersweet ending . . .”

—The Daily Telegraph

“The most entertaining book that I have read in such a long time. . . . It’s very funny, it’s very clever, it’s very nicely written. . . . It’s such a treat.”

—Nancy Pearl

“Aaronovitch makes the story sing, building momentum until the ending is literally breathless.”

—SF Revu

“The prose is witty, the plot clever, and the characters incredibly likeable.”

—Time Out

“This book is, at its heart, a police procedural with an overlay of urban fantasy elements. The voice is persuasive and funny as all get-out, and the reader is engaged with the narrative from the very first page. Aaronovitch has written a diverse cast of characters who all feel like real people with their own specific motivations. This book is simply wonderful.”

—Romantic Times (top pick)
