About this listen

The new Rivers of London novella, from Sunday Times number one best-selling author Ben Aaronovitch.

Ghost hunter, fox whisperer, troublemaker.

It is the summer of 2013, and Abigail Kamara has been left to her own devices. This might, by those who know her, be considered a mistake. While her cousin, police constable and apprentice wizard Peter Grant, is off in the sticks, chasing unicorns, Abigail is chasing her own mystery. Teenagers around Hampstead Heath have been going missing but before the police can get fully engaged, the teens return home - unharmed but vague about where they've been.

Aided only by her new friend Simon, her knowledge that magic is real, and a posse of talking foxes that think they're spies, Abigail must venture into the wilds of Hampstead to discover who is luring the teenagers and more importantly - why?

Not a great narrator. And the start of every chapter is missing! Story not one of BA’s best...

The start of EVERY chapter is missing!!

I didn't think I'd like this book that much as I don't have much in common with 13 yo girls. Abigail, as we know is super smart, street wise and driven and I used to think of her as not much more than a side note for younger readers to relate to. it was interesting to have this character fleshed out and hopefully make a more meaningful contribution to future Rivers of London books.

Great addition to the Rivers of London series.

Brilliant

With each book in the series the Rivers of London ‘world’ gains depth and realism even though you know perfectly well it is fiction. Abigail is a great character and thoroughly deserves her own novella. A well written story with a humorous edge to it. One book a year isn’t nearly enough.

Another splendid instalment

Really fun story, a lighter read than some of the books in the Rivers of London series following the main story line of Peter Grant.

The narrator is pleasant to listen to, and having Kobna Holdbrook-Smith do some cameos is really fun.

Fun to read as part of the bigger world of the Rivers of London, but also a good read as a set alone story. Also, good for maybe a slightly younger audience than the other books in this series.

Fun short story

Admission: I’m a huge fan of this series, and devour the books and graphic novels as they appear. Novellas like this only whet my appetite for bigger books, but ... that being said, this is a great adventure in its own right, experienced by Abigail, a previous ’side’ character.
The fact that even minor characters are rich enough in depth and personality to capably support a novella is a huge testament to the author’s skill and the world and people he has created.
In this story, as experienced by the eponymous Abigail, new characters are introduced alongside familiar ones, as the story rolls out, gathering pace and offering new insights into a world that is both familiar and fantastic. It’s a good audiobook and the voice artists have both done a great job playing the myriad roles and personalities in this magical world.

Fantastic romp through Rivers of London
