pickPeter Grant and his family, his father's jazz group, and assorted people from the Folly go North to Aberdeen partly as a holiday and partly to investigate rumours of a giant cat killing livestock. The local police need his specialist skills and knowledge when a man with gills is found dead on the seafront.
It's always enjoyable to explore more of this world and meet new characters.
It all started when Dr Brian Robertson, retired GP, enthusiastic amateur ecologist and self-confessed cryptid aficionado, stumbled over a dead sheep a few kilometres west of the town of Mintlaw, Aberdeenshire.

pickGreat addition to the series . It was great seeing the characters continued stories and it was so interesting how this developed … another hit
pickW/ the entire family on vacation in Scotland, Peter was just hoping for some relaxing time on the beach. Then a maybe selkie is found dead, a mysterious panther is stalking sheep, & Abigail gets a crush. So business as usual.
Lots of fun, great humor, & fascinating world building, it feel like we skipped a book w/ the time jump. & there were just too many characters that felt incidental. & I did not get invested in Abigail‘s romance. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickRivers of London books read so fast, which is a nice change before diving back into medieval gender.
I enjoyed this one despite the comparative dearth of local history (there was still some), I had missed Peter's sense of humor. Still a little formulaic, and I feel like too little work was put into the twins.
This happened: walked past bookstore. Saw new rivers of london in window. Couldn't find it in store. Asked. The window copy was the last one, but I got to buy it. My stamp card gave me $20 off? Walked out with a book I didn't know existed 5 minutes ago, as I put my faith in getting the aaronovitch news email, apparently erroneously.
pickThere is a large black cat in this book so my large black cat thought he should feature. Jasper will be unimpressed that this isn‘t a glamour shot though 😂😂
I love this series, I think this is about Book 10. There‘s a little less of Peter here and a lot more of Abigail (his neice) so that was fun. Plenty of fantastical hi-jinks. Nothing ground breaking for this world and these characters just good solid fun.
Treat yo self!
I‘m about three behind in the main series but why not. It‘s too hot to logic.
The cover for the next Rivers of London book has dropped! #CoverReveal
