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?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 646
A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Story5 out of 5 stars 32
A long time ago in the future, the secret of time travel became known to all. Unsurprisingly, the world nearly ended. There will always be idiots who want to change history. Enter the Time Police. An all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the timeline straight. At all costs. Their success is legendary. The Time Wars are over. But now they must fight to save a very different future - their own. This is the story of Jane, Luke and Matthew - the worst recruits in Time Police history. Or, very possibly, three young people who might change everything.

Story5 out of 5 stars 452
Vampires do not exist. Everyone knows this. So it's particularly annoying when they start popping up around Manchester. Nobody is pleased about it. Not the Founders, the secret organisation for whom vampires were invented as an allegory, nor the Folk, the magical people hidden in plain sight who only want a quiet life. And definitely not the people of Manchester, because there is nothing more irksome than being murdered by an allegory run amok. Somebody needs to sort this out fast before all hell really breaks loose - step forward the staff of The Stranger Times.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 315
All Bunny McGarry wants is a spot of breakfast and a decent cup of tea. So imagine how annoyed he gets when two masked men attempt to rob the New York diner he is in. Unfortunately, dealing with that problem just leads to a whole lot more. One of the diner’s other customers isn’t who she appears to be, and the odds aren’t great that she is going to live to see another breakfast.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 984
In "Murder at the Mousetrap," the first Bunburry book, fudge-making and quaffing real ale in the local pub are matched by an undercurrent of passion, jealousy, hatred and murder - laced with a welcome dose of humour. Alfie McAlister has retreated from London to the peace and quiet of the country to recover from a personal tragedy. But an accidental death - which may have been no accident - reveals that the heart of England is far from the tranquil backwater he imagined.

Loved this little RoL novella
Loved this little RoL novella from Abigails point of view. Unusually clear Pratchett references like Gaspode and her reading a TP book.

I really love this book. Don’t compare it to the Peter books. It stands on its own

I was wary but loved it
Of course it’s not about Peter and it’s not read by Kobna And I didn’t want anything different because I love them so much. But wow I was not disappointed at all, I love this too, I hope there’s plenty more

Just perfect
A brilliant spin-off for the RoL series. Compact narrative well introducing incomprehensible teenage jargon. Read by the obviously talented Shvorne Marks. I’m hoping to read more about Abigails adventures.

Brilliant
Just what we needed. Peter’s precocious cousin in her own adventure. Abigail is plucky, snarky, resourceful and brilliant, the narration brings the characters to vibrant life.
Sorry Ben, I may want more Abigail more than I want more Peter!

They can’t all be hits
The story was boring. Snotty kids don’t make good subjects. First book in this series that I disliked. I hope the kid isn’t used again as a main character.
